CREAMY APPLE CIDER FLOAT



Creamy Apple Cider Float image

Had my first hot apple cider float at a fall festival here in western New York. Warm, creamy, and frothy. The mulling spices make it taste like you're drinking a hot cup of apple pie. Once you try it you can't put it down. Vanilla or pumpkin ice cream work best.

APPLE CIDER WHOOPIE PIES



Apple Cider Whoopie Pies image

Their name may be fun to say, but whoopie pies aren't really pies at all but rather soft, cakelike cookie sandwiches. These are inspired by a classic apple cider doughnut and, true to form, are dusted with cinnamon sugar. Apple cider that's been reduced and a bit of apple butter work in tandem to subtly flavor the fluffy cakes, and good old cream cheese frosting makes the ideal filling. For beautiful, uniformly sized cakes, use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the batter for baking. If you don't have one, they might bake up a little wonky, but they'll still taste delightful.

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 cup/300 milliliters apple cider
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus 2 tablespoons melted
1/2 cup/110 grams packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup/60 milliliters apple butter
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
6 ounces/170 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring the apple cider to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Continue to cook the cider until it has reduced to 1/4 cup/60 milliliters, about 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely. (You can pop the reduced cider in the fridge or freezer to cool faster while you continue.)
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat the room-temperature butter and brown sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add egg, apple butter and reduced apple cider, and beat until combined. Your batter may look like it has separated slightly, and that's O.K. Add the dry mixture and mix just until combined, again scraping the bowl as necessary.
  • Portion the dough into 2-tablespoon scoops on 2 parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, about 1 1/2-inches apart. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until the cakes are puffed and set, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer sheets to racks. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and the granulated sugar. Brush the tops of the warm cakes with a bit of the melted butter and gently toss them in the sugar mixture. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and beat to combine. Spread about 2 tablespoons of filling on the flat side of half of the cakes. Top with the other halves.

APPLE PIE CIDER FLOATS



Apple Pie Cider Floats image

This recipe tastes like apple pie in a float! While I don't drink alcohol as a rule, the Schnapps and bourbon give it a little kick. You could eliminate it if you prefer, as well. I made mine in advance and just whisked it again before I served it. Delish! I made these last night after shopping with my future daughter-in-law for her wedding dress. We all came back to the house, had a pumpkin shaped pizza and I finished with this as a dessert along with the pizza shop's cinnamon ring. The best part is it can be made up in advance. (Since I don't know a thing about alcohol, I went to the liquor store and asked the lady what to buy for apple schnapps and she suggested I buy two little 'airline type' bottles. They were perfect size.

Categories     Hot Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup(s) water
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
2 cup(s) apple cider
1/4 cup(s) apple schnapps
- vanilla ice cream
- optional--cinnamon stick or dried apple slices
2 tablespoon(s) bourbon--ky of course!

Steps:

  • Make cinnamon syrup first: Put 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to melt the sugar thoroughly. Set aside for later.
  • In a pitcher, place 2 cups apple cider, 1/4 cup cinnamon syrup previously made up, apple Schnapps, and bourbon. Whisk until blended. (Can also be shaken in a cocktail shaker.)
  • Pour about 3 inches of cocktail mix into a coffee mug. Microwave until very warm but not super hot. Drop 3 scoops of ice cream into the mug. Stir a little. Serve with a cinnamon stick or spoon. You can add a squirt of whipped cream on top to decorate. The hot cider melts the ice cream into a wonderful apple pie flavored drink! You can adjust the amount of bourbon and Schnapps as you like.
  • If you save this in the fridge for later, be sure to whisk it well before putting in the mug as the cinnamon tends to settle to the bottom when chilled.
