Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

125g butter, softened
100g caster sugar
50g brown sugar
2 eggs
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
150g apples, peeled, cored and grated (prepared weight)
2 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp ground ginger
200g butter, softened
400g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
green and brown fondant
2 tbsp icing sugar for dusting
red and green sanding sugar (find online or in specialist shops)
12 paper cupcake cases, 6 red and 6 green

Steps:

  • First, make the decorations. Roll out the green fondant on a surface dusted with the sugar to a ½cm thickness. Cut out 12 small 'leaves' using a cutter or knife. Set aside on some baking parchment. Roll the brown fondant into 12 x 1cm 'stalks'. Set aside with the leaves.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line six holes of a 12-hole cupcake tin with red cases, and the other six with green. For the cake batter, beat the butter and both sugars with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Slowly mix in the eggs, then fold in the flour, baking powder, grated apple and spices until fully incorporated.
  • Fill the cases three-quarters full and bake for 30-35 mins, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool completely in the tin. Meanwhile, make the icing. Beat the butter until light and creamy, then add the sugar and vanilla, and beat for 5 mins more until fluffy and pale.
  • Spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle. Working from the outside towards the centre, pipe the icing in a swirl over the cupcakes, applying a good amount of pressure to the bag. Use a small palette knife to smooth the icing into neat domes, then chill the cupcakes for 30 mins to firm up.
  • Tip the red and green sanding sugars into separate bowls. Dip the tops of the cupcakes with the red cases into the red sugar, and those with green cases into the green sugar, turning to fully coat the icing.
  • Make little indentations in the top of the icing for the fondant stalks, and add the leaves around them.

Adding spices at the end of this recipe helps them retain their flavor; they won't be absorbed into the sauce while cooking.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 pounds apples, a mixture of Red Delicious and Granny Smith (10-12)
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups apple juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1 1/2-inch pieces; place in a medium saucepan with sugar and 1/4 cup apple juice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until apples are soft enough to mash, 50 to 60 minutes.

If applesauce gets too dry, add more juice, 1/4 cup at a time as needed. Remove saucepan from heat, and whisk apples until smooth. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Serve at room temperature.

SPICY CLAM DIP



Spicy Clam Dip image

In this chile-flecked take on a classic 1950s clam dip, the cream cheese-based mixture is spooned into a gratin dish, sprinkled with Parmesan and baked until the topping melts and the dip turns molten and savory. Canned clams are traditional here, providing a gentle saline note and nubby texture without an assertive flavor. If you're starting with cream cheese straight from the fridge, soften it briefly in the microwave before adding it to the bowl; cold cream cheese is a lot harder to mix.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
2 (6.5-ounce) cans whole clams (1 cup), coarsely chopped (save the clam juice)
1/2 cup packaged, low-moisture grated mozzarella
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
1 jalapeño, seeded (if desired) and finely chopped
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional) or clam juice, plus more to taste
Salt, if needed, and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, using a fork or rubber spatula, stir and mash together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  • Add clams, mozzarella, parsley, scallions, jalapeño, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, fish sauce or a teaspoon of reserved clam juice, and lots of black pepper, and stir until well combined. If the mixture seems thick, stir in a little more reserved clam juice.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. If you think it needs salt, add it lightly, or try adding a little more fish sauce or more clam juice instead. Dip can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Transfer mixture to shallow 1-quart ceramic baking dish or gratin dish. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions, and serve hot or warm with potato chips.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will give your dip a balance of sweetness and tartness. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help to ensure that your dip is smooth and creamy.
  • Use a food processor or blender: This will make it easy to purée the apples and other ingredients until they are smooth.
  • Add spices to taste: The amount of spices you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Chill the dip before serving: This will help to firm it up and make it more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Spicy apple dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual gathering of friends and family. With its sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors, this dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dip to try, give this spicy apple dip a try.
