Appledilla Recipe 435

THE ORIGINAL APPLE DAPPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 16 individual muffin cups with cooking spray. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Split biscuits in half. Place 1 half in each muffin cup; press biscuit dough to cover the bottom and sides of each cup.
• Place apple pie filling in a bowl; cut up larger pieces of apples. Mix in vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Divide filling among dough-lined cups.
• Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, flour, brown sugar, and nutmeg in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over pie filling and gently press down.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 13 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Carefully transfer to serving plates; cool for 5 minutes more. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel topping.

APPLEDILLA RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on one of the tortillas. Spread apple sauce evenly over cream cheese, top with sliced apples, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Spread the other tablespoon of cream cheese on the other tortilla and place on top of filled tortilla, cream cheese side down. Spray sauté pan with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the pan, and cook each side until lightly browned. Remove quesadilla to serving plate. Allow to cool slightly before cutting. Top with a light dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of caramel ice cream topping, a few chopped walnuts and a dollop of whipped cream!

APPLE DOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in apple and, if desired, walnuts., Drop by tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 13-15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

APPLE BUTTER TARTS RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Place rack in bottm third of oven. Preheat to 425. Place frozen shells on counter to thaw slightly about 10 mins. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk egg. Whisk in brown sugar and corn syrup until evenly mixed. Whisk in melted butter, brandly, flour, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until fairly smooth. Place shells on a rimmed baking sheet. Peel, then grate apple. Divide grated apple between shells. For easier pouring, turn filling into a measuring cup. Stir, then fill each shell just to the pastry rim. Bake on bottom rack of oven until filling is deep golden around edges and center is set. 15 - 18 mins. tart filling will puff up, but will settle when cool. Cool on a wire rack for a least five mins. Remove from foil containers and place on plates. Top with brandied whipped cream or a mini scoop of vanilla ice cream.

APPLE DANISH

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and instant yeast in a mixing bowl. Add the water and room temperature butter and beat for 1 minute. Stir in the remaining cup of flour and mix well. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and transfer to an oiled bowl, turning to coat the surface of the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Place the chopped apples and 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well; add the mixture to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.
• Transfer the Danish dough to a floured surface and punch the dough down. Let the dough rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Roll the dough out into a 13 x 8-inch rectangle. Place the dough on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Turn the baking sheet so that you face the short side of the dough. Spread the apple filling down the center third of the dough. With a sharp paring knife, make cuts in the dough along the right side, starting each cut about 1/4 inch from the apple filling. Cut to the edge of the dough strip, with each cut angled to about 4 o'clock. Each strip of dough should be about 1-inch thick. Repeat on the left side of the dough, angling the cuts to 8 o'clock.
• Starting at the top, fold the dough strips across the apple filling, alternating left and right. The pastry will look like a long braid. Pinch the top and bottom ends of the braid to seal in the filling. Cover the pastry and let it rise at room temperature until the dough is puffy, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the braid for 20 minutes, covering it with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. Remove the pastry from the oven and allow it to cool.
• To make the glaze, heat the 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally and cook until the milk solids turn brown and give off a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Mix in the milk a teaspoon at a time until the glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Decorate the Danish braid with the glaze.

APPLETINI

Steps:

• Shake the vodka, cloudy apple juice, lemon juice and maple syrup in an ice-filled shaker until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
• Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a slice of apple.

APPLE JELLY

Steps:

• Combine fruit and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, mashing occasionally with a potato masher, until fruit is very soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer mixture to a fine sieve set over a heatproof bowl; let drain without pressing on fruit, 4 hours. Strain again through sieve lined with damp cheesecloth. Measure juice; you will have 3 to 4 cups.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, bring juice to a boil. Add 3/4 cup sugar for each cup of juice. Add lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Return to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, 8 to 12 minutes. To test if jelly is done, dip a large metal spoon in, lift it horizontally above pot, and let mixture drip back in. Jelly is done when mixture has thickened slightly and drops of it slide together off spoon in a sheet. (Temperature should register 221 degrees on a candy thermometer.) Skim foam from top.
• Ladle jelly into clean containers, leaving 3/4 inch of headroom. Let cool completely. Cover, label, and refrigerate up to 1 month, or freeze up to 1 year.
