2BLEU'S APPLE BLOSSOMS (CHUDLEIGH'S COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
• FILLING: mix all filling ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• CARAMEL: Heat caramel ingredients over medium heat; Bring to boil, stirring constantly; Let boil for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
• DOUGH: Mix the flour and oil together in a bowl, and mix in just sufficient cold water to make a firm (but not sticky) dough. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Then roll out each into a 5-6" disc.
• ASSEMBLY: Place 1/8th of apple filling onto center of each dough round. Fold up edges of dough up towards the center, making a cup around the filling (you could use a jumbo muffin tin for this too). Brush with eggwash.
• To each blossom, sprinkle 1 tsp of rolled oats followed by a drizzle of caramel topping into tops of apple filling. Follow with a light sprinkle all over with sugar in the raw.
• Bake at 400F for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Cool on wire rack.
