Kittencals Baked Apples Recipes

KITTENCAL'S APPLE CRISP DESSERT

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
• Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• Prepare two separate medium bowls.
• In each bowl place 1 cup oats, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cup flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; toss to combine.
• To each bowl mix in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons melted butter; mix well to combine then finish mixing using your hands until the mixture is crumbly.
• To one bowl only add in 1/2 cup nuts (this bowl will be your topping mixture).
• Sprinkle the bowl without the nuts into the bottom of the baking dish; pat down only slightly with hand.
• For the apple filling; in a bowl toss the apple slices with lemon juice.
• In a small bowl mix together 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and nutmeg; toss to combine; add to the sliced apples then toss to combine.
• Place the apples over the crumb crust.
• Sprinkle the remaining topping (with nuts) over the apple mixture.
• Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until apples are fork-tender (stick a fork into the apples after about 35 minutes of cooking time to see if they are cooked to desired doneness).
• Serve with vanilla ice cream.

KITTENCAL'S GERMAN APPLE PUFF PANCAKE

Steps:

• Set oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
• Place 2 Tbsp butter in each of the pans.
• Place the pans in the oven and bake until the butter has melted; remove from oven.
• In a bowl, beat the flour, 1/4 teaspoons baking powder, sugar (if using) salt, milk and eggs until smooth, then allow to stand for 30 minutes.
• Arrange the apple slices into the two pans onto the melted butter.
• Re-whisk the flour/egg mixture again then divide the batter evenly between pans, over the apple slices.
• Mix the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the batter in each pan.
• Bake until puffed, and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

KITTENCAL'S CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Insert 1 wooden stick into each apple.
• In a heavy saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and milk; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees (firm ball stage) about 30-40 minutes and for a softer caramel cook just to a few less degrees.
• Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
• Dip each apple into hot caramel mixture; turn to coat.
• Holding by the stick, sprinkle with nuts or whatever you desire while the caramel is still warm (work quickly the caramel sets up fast).
• Set on generously buttered wax paper to cool (make certain to generously butter the paper).
• Note: if making a double recipe make two recipes in two separate pots.

BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Scoop out the core from top of the apple, leaving a well. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter. Place in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until sugar begins to caramelize and apples are tender.
