Pumpkin Pie Cupcake Vanilla Chantilly And Crumble Recipes

PUMPKIN PIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, and coat the liners and the top of the tin with cooking spray.
• Whisk the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, butter, eggs, milk and vanilla together in a medium bowl. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture, and gently fold until just incorporated (it's OK if there are some lumps).
• Bake until the tops spring back when pressed, 24 to 28 minutes, rotating the tin halfway through. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. (The cupcakes can be made up to 2 days before and refrigerated in an airtight container.)
• For the pie crust cutouts: While the muffins are cooling, cut out 12 shapes from the pie crust, and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each with milk, and sprinkle generously with granulated sugar. Bake until deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Let cool completely.
• For the filling/topping: Beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar together in a medium bowl until smooth. Add 1 cup of the cream, and beat until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 1 cup cream, and beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pastry bag.
• To fill and top the cupcakes: Use a teaspoon or a melon baller to take a small scoop out of the top center of each cupcake (save these cupcake pieces). Squeeze some of the filling/topping into each hole, and top with one of the cupcake pieces. Pipe a swirl of the filling/topping on top of each cupcake. (The cupcakes can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours at this point if you prefer them chilled.) Gently push a pie crust cutout into the frosting of each cupcake, and serve.

PUMPKIN CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Whisk together the pumpkin puree, half-and-half, granulated sugar, eggs, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well blended.
• In another large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom and 1/2 teaspoon salt, breaking up any lumps of brown sugar with a fork. Melt the remaining 7 tablespoons butter and stir into the flour mixture until it is completely moistened and crumbly.
• Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Scatter the oat mixture on top. Bake until the pumpkin is set around the edges but still jiggly when shaken, and the topping is brown and crisp, about 50 minutes.
• Serve room temperature or slightly warm with whipped cream on the side.

PUMPKIN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 22 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Combine milk, maple syrup, and vanilla in another medium bowl; stir gently to combine.
• Combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in eggs, one at a time, until well blended, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with milk mixture, beating batter briefly after each addition. Add pumpkin; mix until smooth and well combined. Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, combine butter, half-and-half, and vanilla extract for the frosting in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, and mix on the lowest setting until frosting reaches a good spreading consistency. Mix in cinnamon and spread on cooled cupcakes.
