APPLE RAISIN CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, add butter and let melt over medium heat. Add the chopped apples and raisins; stir for 1 minute. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt; stir until sugar is combined and starting to melt. Simmer while stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Sprinkle flour on board or counter. Roll dough out into a large rectangle, about 18 inches by 12-14 inches. Spread apple mixture over the dough evenly. Starting from the long side, roll the dough evenly and tightly.
• Using a serrated knife, cut the dough into 1.5-2 inch slices, then set in a greased cake pan (or any baking dish is fine). Cover pan with a damp towel and set in a warm area for about an hour to let the dough rise.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place rolls in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Make your frosting while the rolls bake.
• Place all frosting ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until completely combined. Spread cream cheese frosting over the top of the rolls and serve warm. Enjoy!

APPLE RAISIN CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• In your stand mixer bowl, add the yeast, 1 tsp of sugar, and lukewarm water. Let stand for a few minutes.
• When the yeast has foamed up, add the room temperature/lukewarm milk, oil, salt, ground cinnamon, sugar and 1 cup of flour. Mix with a spoon to combine.
• Put stand mixer bowl in place, add 2 more cups of flour and using the dough hook, allow the mixer to knead.
• If the dough is sticky, add flour 1/2 cup at a time.
• Let mixer knead dough for about 4 minutes and until it is no longer sticky.
• Remove dough from mixer bowl and oil the inside lightly. Place dough back in bowl, cover with a towel and let it sit in a warm spot until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• After the hour has passed, punch the dough down and let it sit for a few minutes while you prepare the pan and filling.
• Line an 9" x 13" pan with parchment paper. Allow an overhang on each side so they can be easily removed from the pan when done.
• Slice apples into 3/4" pieces (see images above to get an idea of how they should look).
• Prepare raisins (see tip above).
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the cinnamon.
• Lightly flour your work surface, stretch and roll your dough into a rectangle that is approximately 12" x 18".
• Brush melted coconut oil over the entire surface.
• Sprinkle brown sugar/cinnamon mixture onto dough.
• Sprinkle raisins and then apples onto the dough.
• From the long side, firmly roll the dough. Roll slowly to ensure it is tight as can be.
• Pinch the entire length of the seam to seal and turn the entire roll seam side down so it's at the bottom.
• Slice off an inch of dough from each end.
• Slice the roll into 12 slices.
• Place each slice into the parchment lined pan. It's OK if they are close together.
• Cover with a towel and place in a warm spot. Let rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• After the rolls have rested, bake for about 20 minutes or until they are lightly browned.

APPLE-RAISIN CINNAMON BUN PIE

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.

CARAMEL APPLE CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• Prepare the dough for the buns the day before you want to bake them, if you have time - this will develop a better flavour. Warm the milk in a pan until steaming but not boiling. Add the butter and swirl the pan for 1-2 mins until the butter has melted and the milk cooled slightly. It should be just warm.
• Put the flour in a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the yeast and sugar to one side of the bowl, then ½ tsp salt to the other. Whisk together, then pour in the warm buttery milk. Mix until the ingredients form a soft dough (it should be a little sticky), then tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand for 8-10 mins, or keep the stand mixer going for 5 mins or so. The dough will feel stretchy and soft when it's ready - you should be able to pull it apart without it breaking straightaway (this means the gluten has been developed). Lightly oil a bowl, add the dough and cover. Leave to rise at room temperature for a few hours, or until the dough has doubled in size. Or, chill overnight.
• To make the apple filling, cook the apples, butter, sugar and 1 tbsp water in a pan for 5-10 mins until soft and sticky. Add a splash more water if the pan looks dry or the sugar starts to burn. Leave to cool.
• If the dough has been chilled, take it out of the fridge 30 mins before shaping. For the cinnamon butter, mix the butter, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together with a pinch of salt. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape into a rough rectangle, then roll out until it's about 50 x 40cm. Spread the cinnamon butter over the dough and all the way out to the edges. Spoon over the apple filling.
• Working from one of the longer sides, roll the dough up as tightly as you can into a sausage shape. Cut into 12 equal pieces. To easily do this, first cut the dough in half crosswise, then cut each half into three pieces, then halve each piece. Line a large round baking dish or cake tin (about 33cm) with baking parchment. Arrange the buns, cut-side up, in the dish or tin. Make sure the tails of the buns (where the dough opens) are tucked in towards the middle of the tin, so they don't unfurl when baked. Leave some space around each bun, as they will expand as they prove. Cover loosely and leave to rise for 30 mins-2 hrs (depending on how hot your kitchen is) until the buns are puffed up and touching at the sides. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Bake for 35-40 mins until golden. Check the buns after 25 mins - if they still look a little doughy at the centre but the edges are burning, cover with foil and continue baking. Leave to cool in the tin while you make the icing.
• Mix the soft cheese, icing sugar and cinnamon together. Spread over the buns while still slightly warm, so the icing drips into the swirls of the buns a little without melting completely. Loosen the caramel with a drop of milk, if needed, then drizzle over the icing. Leave to set for 30 mins before serving.
