Cinnamon Roulade with Apple Raisin Filling image

Categories     Cake     Mixer     Egg     Breakfast     Brunch     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Raisin     Apple     Chill     Cinnamon     Gourmet     Small Plates

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the filling
1 Granny Smith apple
1 McIntosh apple
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the cake
5 large eggs, separated, the whites at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
confectioners' sugar for dusting the towel

Steps:

  • Make the filling:
  • In a saucepan combine the apples, peeled, cored, and chopped fine, the brown sugar, the butter, and 3/4 cup water, simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender, and stir in the raisins. In a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup cold water, add the mixture to the apple mixture, and boil the mixture for 1 minute. Stir in the rum, boil the filling for 1 minute, and let it cool. The filling may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • Make the cake:
  • Line the bottom of a buttered jelly-roll pan, 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 by 1-inches, with wax paper, butter the paper, and dust it with flour, knocking out the excess. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the yolks, the granulated sugar, and the vanilla until the mixture is thick and pale and forms a ribbon when the beaters are lifted. In another bowl with the beaters, cleaned, beat the whites with the salt until they just hold stiff peaks, stir one third of them into the yolk mixture, and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Sift the cornstarch, the flour, and the cinnamon over the egg mixture, fold the mixture in until the batter is just combined, and spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake the cake in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the top is golden and a tester comes out clean. Dust a kitchen towel generously with the confectioners' sugar, invert the cake onto it, and peel off the wax paper carefully. Roll up the cake gently in the towel, starting with a long side, and let it cool completely on a rack.
  • Assemble the roulade:
  • Unroll the cake, spread it with the filling. Leaving a 1-inch border on the long sides, and reroll it gently. Transfer the_roulade_, seam side down, to a platter and trim the ends diagonally. In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks, sift the cinnamon over it, and beat the mixture until it holds stiff peaks. Transfer the cinnamon cream to a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip and pipe it decoratively onto and around the_roulade_.

APPLE-RAISIN CINNAMON BUN PIE



Apple-Raisin Cinnamon Bun Pie image

There's more than meets the eye in this tricky pie. At first glance, it looks like a pan full of cinnamon buns, but cut into it and there's apple pie filling underneath! Big and little kids can help with measuring ingredients and even rolling out the dough (though parents should be nearby in case they need help).

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 14-ounce package refrigerated rolled pie dough
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup dark raisins
1/3 cup golden raisins
4 pounds mixed apples, such as Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and McIntosh
4 pounds mixed apples, such as Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and McIntosh
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch kosher salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar, optional
2 tablespoons milk, plus more if needed, optional

Steps:

  • Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 piece of dough, and refrigerate until ready to assemble the pie.
  • Make the cinnamon-roll crust: Lay the remaining piece of dough on a lightly floured surface, and spread 2 tablespoons of the butter evenly on top. Combine 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle evenly over the butter; gently press with your fingers to help the mixture adhere. Roll the dough up into a tight log. Trim and discard about 1 1/2 inches from each end, and cut the remaining log crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the pieces, cut-side down, in a snug circle on floured parchment paper. Lightly dust the pieces with flour, then gently roll out into a 10-inch round. Slide the parchment onto a baking sheet, and refrigerate until ready to assemble the pie.
  • Put the dark and golden raisins in a medium bowl with hot water to cover. Let them soak until tender, about 5 minutes, then strain.
  • Make the filling: Peel and core the apples, cut them into 1/2-inch-thick slices and toss with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the lemon juice in a large bowl. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the firmer apples soften but hold their shape, 15 to 18 minutes. (The softer apples, like McIntosh, will get very soft and saucy.) Add the flour, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and the nutmeg and salt, and stir until the juices thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the raisins and let the filling cool completely. (The filling can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days.)
  • Fill the dough-lined pie plate with the filling in an even layer. Invert the cinnamon-roll crust on top, and peel off the parchment. (It's OK if the individual rounds separate a bit in the process.) Pinch the crusts together. Fold the overhanging dough under itself, and crimp as desired. Brush with the egg, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Bake the pie: Place a baking sheet in the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Set the pie on the hot baking sheet, and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
  • If using a glaze, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth. (Add more milk if the glaze is too thick.) Drizzle over the pie.

Steps:

  • Make filling:

  • Make dough:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar into a bowl. Blend in butter and shortening with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1/2 cup milk and stir with a fork just until mixture is moistened.
  • Turn out dough onto a floured work surface and gently knead 7 to 8 times, or until a soft dough forms (do not overwork dough, or dumplings will be tough). Roll out dough on a well-floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a rough 16- by 11-inch rectangle (about 3/4 inch thick). Trim to a 15- by 10-inch rectangle. Halve dough lengthwise, then cut crosswise in thirds (to form 6 squares).
  • Fill dumplings:
  • Divide filling among centers of squares. Bring all 4 corners together over filling and pinch together to seal. Transfer dumplings to a well-buttered 13- by 9- by 2-inch ceramic or glass baking dish and arrange about 1 inch apart. Brush tops with remaining 1/2 tablespoon milk and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  • Make syrup and bake dumplings:
  • Bring cider and brown sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour syrup around dumplings, then bake dumplings until golden brown and syrup is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

APPLE, RAISIN & CINNAMON CLANGER



Apple, raisin & cinnamon clanger image

Try something different for dessert with this clanger - it's like a giant steamed pudding or stuffed roly-poly. Here, ours is filled with spiced apples

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

350g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
25g golden caster sugar
150g shredded vegetable or beef suet
2 eggs
custard, to serve
500g apples, peeled, cored and coarsely grated
1 tsp ground cinnamon
25g butter, melted
100g sultanas or raisins
50g demerara sugar, plus extra for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, sugar, suet and ½ tsp salt together in a bowl. Crack in one egg and slowly add 150ml ice-cold water, stirring to make a pliable dough. Knead briefly to bring together, then wrap and leave to rest while you make the filling.
  • Tip the grated apples into a bowl, then stir in the cinnamon, melted butter, sultanas and sugar until well-combined. Set aside (don't worry if it starts to turn brown).
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll the pastry out on a floured surface to a 30 x 25cm rectangle, with a long side closest to you. Spoon the apple filling along the long side, leaving a 2cm border from the edge. Beat the second egg and brush some of this over the exposed pastry edge, then fold the edge over to encase the filling. Roll the pastry up into a tight roll, then put the kettle on to boil.
  • Wrap the whole roll in a large piece of baking parchment and twist the ends like a Christmas cracker. Twist again to tighten, then secure the ends with kitchen string. Put on a wire rack inside a large roasting tin, pour in 1 litre of freshly boiled water from the kettle and sit the clanger on the rack. Cover the whole tin tightly in a tent of foil, then transfer to the oven and bake for 1 hr.
  • Once the clanger is steamed, carefully remove from the tin. Will keep chilled for up to a day. Unwrap the clanger, transfer to a baking tray, brush all over with more of the beaten egg, scatter liberally with more demerara sugar and bake for 20 mins more until deep golden. Serve with custard.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Peel and core the apples: Use a sharp knife or an apple peeler to remove the skin and core from the apples. If you don't have an apple peeler, you can use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
  • Slice the apples thinly: Use a sharp knife to slice the apples into thin slices. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use fresh raisins: Fresh raisins will give the filling a better flavor than dried raisins.
  • Simmer the filling until it is thickened: Bring the filling to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the filling has thickened.
  • Use the filling in your favorite recipes: Apple raisin filling can be used in pies, tarts, muffins, and other baked goods.
