Combine warm water and yeast in a small bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes. 

Combine apple juice, applesauce, sugar, egg replacer, salt, oil, and cinnamon in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (like a Kitchen Aid mixer). Mix well until combined. 

Add pizza crust mix, ¼ cup at a time, until soft dough forms (won’t use all of the mix). 

Turn dough out onto table dusted with remaining pizza crust mix. Knead until dough is no longer sticky but still soft. 

Roll dough to ¼ inch thickness and cut using a mickey cookie cutter. 

Set aside at room temp for 20 minutes.

Pour oil into a deep pot until it reaches 2 inches up sides.

Heat oil over medium heat to 350°F.

Lightly press beignets to slightly flatten.

Carefully add a few beignets to hot oil. Fry until golden brown on each side, flipping over once. 

Remove from hot oil with a slotted spoon onto a baking sheet with a few paper towels to soak up the oil. 

Dust with a generous amount of confectioners sugar and serve hot.

Enjoy!
