Easy Homemade Apple Fritters

Easy Homemade Apple Fritters

1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup chopped apple

Glaze:
•2 cups powdered sugar
•1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon. Stir in milk and egg until just combined. Fold in apple. Pour oil into skillet so that it is approximately 1 1/2 deep. Heat oil on high. Oil is ready when a little dough thrown in floats to top. Carefully add dough to oil in heaping teaspoons. Cook until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are browned. Transfer briefly to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then transfer to cooling rack. Make glaze by stirring milk and powdered sugar together in a small bowl. Drizzle over apple fritters. Wait approximately 3 minutes for glaze to harden, then flip fritters and drizzle glaze over the other side. Best served warm.

Deep-Fried Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Deep-Fried Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Deep-Fried Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

• 
  
• 1 lb strawberries, generously hulled
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 c. plus 1 tbsp confectioner’s sugar, plus more to dust
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 c. self-rising flour
• 6 oz. beer (one used Dogfish Head’s Tweason’ale, which already has a hint of strawberry)
• oil to fry

Combine cream cheese, 1/2 c. confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until smooth, and pipe into hollows left from hulling the strawberries. (I use a huller that resembles a tiny melon baller with teeth! It’s great for saving the stem end of tomatoes, too.) 

Refrigerate for an hour or more. (You could also stick them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, but don’t forget them in there!) 

In another bowl, combine self-rising flour, 1 tbsp. confectioner’s sugar and one half (6 oz.) of a can or bottle of beer, whisking together until smooth. 

Heat oil in a deep fryer, or several inches of oil in a deep pan on the stove, to 350°F. 

Coat each stuffed berry well with the beer batter before dropping into the hot oil, and cook until just lightly golden brown.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars

Ingredients

For the cookie dough filling
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups mini chocolate chips


For the Ganache
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup heavy cream

Optional (Original) Topping:
1 c. creamy peanut butter
2/3 c. milk chocolate chips

 

Instructions

1. Start by lining a 9x9-inch or 8x8-inch square pan with a sheet of parchment paper, making sure that the edges of the paper are large enough to extend up the sides of the pan. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix until well combined.
3. With the mixer on a low speed, alternate adding in the flour and the sweetened condensed milk until all of it has been added and the mixture is completely blended. Fold in the mini chocolate chips by hand until evenly blended.
4. Press the cookie dough into the prepared pan and press down to spread the dough evenly to the edges. (I found it helpful to put a piece of plastic wrap over the dough while I pressed down.)
5. Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm – at least 3 hours or overnight.
6. The next day, prepare the ganache at least a few hours before serving. In microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and cream. Heat on high for one minute and stir the chocolate chips and cream together. Continue heating in 30 second increments and stirring after each until the chocolate chips are fully melted and combined with the cream. [For optional topping, combine the peanut butter and milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until smooth.]
7. Pour the ganache over the cookie dough bars, spreading evenly to the edges of the bars. Chill the bars for a least one hour or until the ganache is set.
8. When ready to serve, carefully pull up on the edges of the parchment paper and remove the chilled cookie dough from the pan. Using a long knife, cut the dough into bite-sized bars and serve.

• 1/2 cup light corn syrup

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of a fluted tube (Bundt) pan and set aside.
2.  Chop the nuts, if you did not buy them already chopped.
3.  Mix your sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and whisk together until mixed.
4.  Pour 1/2 of sugar cinnamon mixture into the bottom of the tube pan.
5.  Sprinkle nuts on top of sugar and cinnamon mixture in the bottom of pan (Optional). Place biscuits in the pan, overlapping each biscuit.

As soon as you take the buns out of the oven, place a plate over the top of the pan and quickly turn the whole thing over onto the plate. Make sure you are careful and not touch the pan or get any of the sugar mixture on you. It can take the hide off.

Now enjoy your hot, delicious ooey-gooey pull-apart sticky buns.
