NOTES: Recipe by Camille Paskett and Shanna Roberts
*My mixer is a Bosch. Hands down the best mixer available! I just wish it came in cute colors.
*1 cube of butter = 1/2 c.
*Orange concentrate is frozen orange juice.
*I just use regular flour, not self-rising.
*It really is 6 Tablespoons of yeast. I use SafInstant. I have never used the packets, so I don't know the conversion.
*It really is 10 and 1/2 cups of flour.
*I have never frozen the dough. These are way too easy to make to bother with freezing them. But some people have.
*Rising time depends on how warm the house is, the humidity, etc. Just let them rise until they are big enough for you.
*I don't know how many calories these are. Please don't tell me.
*If you want half the rolls, just half the recipe.
*400 degrees Fahrenheit.
*I use the dough hook to mix it up.

Serves: 9
Borrowed and 
INGREDIENTS
  • 4 eggs (separate yolks from whites) at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 150 g (3/4 cup) sugar
  • 125 g (1 stick or ½ cup) butter, melted
  • 115 g (4 oz or ¾ cup) of all purpose flour
  • 1¾ cup milk lukewarm
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • zest from one lemon
  • powdered sugar for dusting cake
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 325 F degrees. Grease a 8 inch x 8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Separate eggs and add the egg whites to a mixer and mix until egg whites are stiff. Place egg whites in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light. Add butter and vanilla extract and continue beating for another minute or two after which you can add the flour and mix it in until fully incorporated.
  4. Add lemon juice and lemon zest then slowly start adding the milk and beat until everything is well mixed together. Add the egg whites, a third at a time and gently fold them in using a spatula or a whisk, repeat until all egg whites are folded in, but there should still be white bits of egg whites floating in the batter.
  5. Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 40 to 70 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the cake is firm to the touch. The baking time could vary greatly depending on the oven, so take a peek at around 40 minutes and see how it looks.
  6. Sprinkle some powdered sugar after cake has cooled.

Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls


Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls
Borrowed And Sharing
Author: 
Serves: Makes 12 cinnamon rolls
Ingredients
  • For the dough:
  • 1 package yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
  • ½ cup lukewarm water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup scalded milk (Heat milk until bubbles appear around the edge of the pan. Cool until lukewarm)
  • ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 cups bread flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • Filling:
  • 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, divided
  • 5 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • Glaze:
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, add yeast and 2 teaspoons of the sugar to the lukewarm water and let it sit until it dissolves, about 10 minutes.
  2. In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer using the dough hook attachment, (or a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer) add scalded milk, melted butter, egg, remaining sugar, and salt and mix on low speed until combined.
  3. Add half of the flour and mix until smooth.
  4. Add yeast mixture and continue to mix on low.
  5. Slowly add the remaining flour (if using an electric mixer you will have to stop when it's getting hard to mix and use a wooden spoon to incorporate the rest of the flour as best you can- the motor of the electric mixer will burn out- then turn dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, folding the dough over onto itself and pushing down repeatedly). For a stand mixer, increase the speed to medium and knead for 5 minutes.
  6. Remove dough, place in a greased bowl, cover, and set aside on countertop or warm place. Let it rise until it is double in size, about 2 hours.
  7. While dough is rising, make the filling. Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter and sugar in a large skillet, then add the apples. Sauté until apples are slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  8. When dough has risen, remove cover and, using your fist, punch the dough down and remove from the bowl.
  9. Roll out on a well-floured surface into a 16x24 inch rectangle and spread the remaining 2 tablespoons butter almost out to the edges, but not quite.
  10. Mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle evenly across the butter.
  11. Spread the apple mixture over the brown sugar as evenly as you can.
  12. Roll into a log, starting from one end to the other, lengthwise, so the log is 24 inches.
  13. Using a sharp knife, gently cut 2 inch slices with a sawing motion (try not to push too hard to pinch the dough), this will give you 12 cinnamon rolls.
  14. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and butter the parchment. The cinnamon roll slices close together, but not touching, in the pan.
  15. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until the dough is doubled, 1½-2 hours.
  16. While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for about 20-22 minutes, being careful not to over-bake them.
  17. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt together with an electric or stand mixer on medium speed and set aside. When cinnamon rolls come out of the oven, spread the glaze over the top and serve.

Carmel Apple muffins


Here is what you need:

  • 2 cup graham cracker crumbs (I used store bought in a can.  I find these to work the best)
  • 12 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 cups peeled, cored and chopped apples (we used golden delicious)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 1/4 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Caramel topping (store bought!)

Here is what you do:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Grease pan with non-stick butter spray
  • Melt butter
  • In a medium size bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter with a spoon (slowly add the butter and evenly distribute – PLEASE SEE UPDATE/NOTE BELOW)
  • Evenly distribute mixture to the 24 mini muffin cups. Press along the bottom and sides to make a “cup”
  • Bake for 5 minutes and let cool completely
  • Chop the apples into little pieces – I used a mini food processor.  Don’t puree, just finely chop
  • Mix apples, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl
  • Bake in a baking dish for 15 minutes on 375 degrees, until apples are slightly softened
  • Scoop a teaspoon or so of the apple mix and place on top of the graham cracker crust cups (while still in the muffin pan)
  • Sprinkle any extra graham cracker on top of the apples (I had some left over!)
  • Bake for 5 minutes on 350
  • Let cool completely
  • Use a knife to loosen from pan and they should pop right out
  • Drizzle with caramel topping
  • Enjoy


UPDATE/NOTE: Some people have found the crust recipe to work perfect, while some others found the 12 tablespoons of butter was way to much and the butter started to pool – you may want to start by using 1/2 C butter (1 stick vs. 1 1/2 sticks, or 12 T) Melt the butter and add slowly to the crumbs, a little bit at a time, making sure it’s not too wet. You can always add more or save the leftover butter for later. You want a soft dough that sticks together slightly when you try to form a ball, not a wet dough.
