SPICY APPLE TWISTS (PILLSBURY BAKE-OFF WINNER)



Spicy Apple Twists (Pillsbury Bake-Off Winner) image

This was the 1958 Grand Prize Winner in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. Kudos goes to Dorothy DeVault of Ohio who created it. It's described as a miniature pastry-a lighter version of old fashioned apple dumplings. It would look divine served in a single serving glass dessert dish topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry!

Tips for Perfect Spicy Apple Twists:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the apples into thin, even slices. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Be sure to remove the seeds and core from the apples before slicing them. This will help prevent the twists from being too bitter.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • Don't overfill the twists with apple filling. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and they may burst open during baking.
  • Be sure to pinch the edges of the twists together firmly to prevent them from coming apart.
  • Bake the twists until they are golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious, caramelized flavor.

Conclusion:

Spicy Apple Twists are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them spicy or sweet, these twists are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or dessert, give Spicy Apple Twists a try. You won't be disappointed!
