1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
One 14-ounce can whole cranberry sauce
1 cup pecans

Pinch of kosher salt
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
6 cinnamon sticks
5 large egg yolks
Butter, for greasing the dishes

Steps:

  • For the crisp topping: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated and brown sugars, oats, pecans and salt. Add the cubed cold butter and mix until crumbly.
  • Chill until ready to use. Store leftover topping in the freezer.
  • For the crisp filling: Peel the apples and pears, then dice into large pieces and put in a bowl. Toss in the orange and lemon zest and juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon and ginger. Add the cranberry sauce and toss until thoroughly combined
  • For the toffee pecans: Combine the pecans, granulated sugar, butter and salt in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until caramelized and golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Spread on a half-sheet pan and leave until cooled.
  • For the cinnamon creme anglaise: Heat the cream, milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan until it boils. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to steep for about 20 minutes. Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks.

  • Let cool until just warm, 20 to 30 minutes. Top with the toffee pecans and serve with the cinnamon creme anglaise.

APPLE SHEET CAKE WITH CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Apple Sheet Cake With Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting image

This lightly spiced apple cake comes together in no time at all, and a few swoops of fluffy cinnamon cream cheese frosting dress it up for dessert. As written, this recipe yields a modest amount of frosting, so frosting lovers may want to double the recipe. Make sure to use fresh cinnamon for this recipe (and all of your fall baking) to get the best results.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings (one 9-by-13-inch cake)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for preparing the pan
3/4 cup/165 grams light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups/480 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup/180 milliliters neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
8 ounces/230 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup/65 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), at room temperature
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup/100 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass or light colored metal baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and eggs until pale and foamy. Add the applesauce, oil, spices and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the 2 cups flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk until well combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and firmly tap the pan on a countertop a few times to release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
  • When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream cheese, butter and cinnamon to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the speed up to medium-high and whip until smooth and fluffy.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.

OAT SHORTCAKES WITH SAUTéED APPLES, CINNAMON, AND WHIPPED CREAM



Oat Shortcakes with Sautéed Apples, Cinnamon, and Whipped Cream image

Provided by Alice Medrich's

Categories     Cake     Milk/Cream     Dessert     Kid-Friendly     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Apple     Healthy     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the cake:
3 tablespoons (45 grams) clarified butter or ghee
1 cup (100 grams) oat flour
2/3 cup (130 grams) granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
For the topping:
2 large Honeycrisp or Gala apples, unpeeled, cut into 1/4-inch wedges
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for dusting
1/8 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Special Equipment:
Stand mixer with whisk attachment or handheld electric mixer, 9-inch square cake pan, sifter or medium-mesh strainer

Steps:

  • Bake the cake:
  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper, but leave the sides unlined and ungreased.
  • Put the clarified butter in a small pot or microwavable container ready to reheat when needed, and have a large bowl ready to pour it into as well. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour and 2 tablespoons of the sugar together thoroughly.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine eggs, salt, and remaining granulated sugar; beat on high speed until light-colored and tripled in volume, 4 to 5 minutes. You should see well-defined tracks as the whisk spins; when the whisk is lifted, the mixture should fall in a thick, fluffy rope that dissolves slowly on the surface of the batter.
  • Just before the egg mixture is ready, heat the clarified butter until very hot and pour it into the reserved large bowl.
  • Remove the bowl with the egg mixture from the mixer. Sift one-third of the flour mixture over the eggs; fold in with a large rubber spatula until the flour is almost blended into the batter. Repeat with half of the remaining flour, then repeat with the rest of the flour. Scrape about a quarter of the batter into the bowl with the hot clarified butter. Fold until the butter is completely blended into the batter. Scrape the buttery batter over the remaining batter and fold just until blended. Scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake until the cake is golden brown on top, 30 to 35 minutes. It will have puffed up and then settled level, but it won't have pulled away from the sides of the pan, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean and dry. Set the pan on a rack to cool completely.
  • When cool, cut around the edge of the cake to release it from the pan, then quickly invert over a cutting board. Cut in a tic-tac-toe grid, creating nine even squares of cake.
  • Make the topping:
  • While the cake is baking, make the topping: In a medium bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and 1/4 cup water. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat butter until melted. Add apple mixture and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until apples have softened but still hold their shape and the sauce has thickened, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in the chilled bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, or using a handheld electric mixer, whip the cream until it holds a soft shape-not too stiff. (The cream can be covered and refrigerated for up to several hours. If liquid separates from the cream, whisk briefly before using.)
  • Assemble the dessert:
  • To serve, top each piece of cake with 4 to 5 cooked apple slices and a drizzle of sauce and garnish with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe apples and cranberries.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the shortcakes tough.
  • If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • To make sure the shortcakes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they're done.
  • The cinnamon cream is the perfect complement to the sweet and tart apples and cranberries. Be sure to make plenty of it so you have some left over to enjoy with other desserts.

Conclusion:

These apple cranberry shortcakes are the perfect fall dessert. They're easy to make, and they're always a hit with family and friends. The sweet and tart apples and cranberries are a perfect match for the flaky shortcakes and the creamy cinnamon sauce. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give these apple cranberry shortcakes a try.
