APPLE-CRANBERRY PUFF PASTRY STRUDEL SLICES

Steps:

• Thaw the puff pastry sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Place the cranberries in a bowl and pour hot water to cover; let sit until plump (about 20 minutes).
• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl whisk together egg and water; set aside.
• In a medium bowl combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, sliced apples, cranberrie (or raisins if using) juice from 1/2 lemon and lemon rind; toss to combine; set aside.
• Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly-floured surface and roll into 16x12-inch rectangle.
• With the short end facing you, spoon apple mixture onto the bottom half of the rectangle to within 1-inch of edges.
• Starting at the short side roll up in jellyroll fashion.
• Place seam side down onto baking sheet, then tuck ends under to seal.
• Brush the roll with egg mixture.
• Cut several 2-inch slits about 2-inches apart on top.
• Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until golden.
• Cool on baking sheet on a wire rack for about 30 minutes (or more, do not slice before the 30 minutes or the filling will spread).
• Using a sharp serrated knife slice the baked strudel and serve warm sprinkled with confectioners sugar if desired.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH APPLE CRANBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale yellow, frothy and doubled in volume, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and blend until it becomes a smooth paste. Add in the melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten eggs into the batter. Hold the batter at room temperature until ready to cook.
• Heat a 14-inch skillet or griddle pan to medium-high heat. Place 1 tablespoon of the butter on the skillet and ladle out 2 ounces of the batter. When the top of the pancake starts to bubble, use a large metal spatula to flip, and then cook on the other side until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter, about 6 pancakes total, adding butter to the griddle before each pancake. Stack three pancakes on each plate and serve with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, confectioners' sugar, some maple syrup and the Apple Cranberry Compote.
• In a medium saucepot set over medium heat, add the cranberries, granulated sugar, honey, salt, apples, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, stir and continue cooking until the apples start to break down and the cranberries begin to pop, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm.

APPLE CRANBERRY PUFFED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, thoroughly whisk eggs. Slowly add the flour, whisking all the while to prevent lumps. Gradually add the milk and whisk to form a smooth batter. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the sliced apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until fork tender, about 15 minutes.
• In a 9-inch oven-safe pie plate, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, taking care to not burn it (or spray pan with a non-stick cooking spray). Fill the plate with the cooked apple mixture, and top with the prepared batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
• Top the pancake with a sprinkling of lemon juice, if desired, and finish off with a liberal dusting of powdered sugar. Slice into portions and serve immediately.
