Apple Streusel Spice Blend Food

APPLE STREUSEL

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Peel, core, and slice the apples. Slice on the thinner side and make them the same thickness so they will cook evenly.
• Grease a large casserole dish with butter. Add the apples to the dish and toss with the flour, brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the apples are completely coated.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Melt the butter in a medium-sized bowl in the microwave.
• Mix in the salt, flour, sugar, and vanilla extract with a fork until the ingredients form a crumbly, damp dough.
• Crumble the streusel over the top of the apple slices.
• Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered for 35 minutes or until the top is browned and the apples are softened. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then serve with fresh whipped cream or ice cream.

DIY PUMPKIN SPICE BLEND

Steps:

• Combine the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice and cloves in a bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

APPLE SPICE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and egg. Beat on medium speed until homogenous, about 1 minute more.
• Whisk together the flour, apple pie spice, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Pour half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients until a loose, wet dough comes together. Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes in the refrigerator; it will thicken slightly as the flour becomes hydrated.
• Using a 3-tablespoon size scoop, make large mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 3 inches of space between each cookie. Place an apple ring on top of each mound and press gently down to secure. Generously sprinkle each apple slice with sanding sugar.
• Bake the cookies until deeply golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through the baking time. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

SO EASY AND TASTY APPLE STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Grease the bottom only of a small (4 cups or so) casserole dish. Peel and core the apples, slice and place in a bowl. Top with sugar, cinnamon and vanilla, toss to coat. Set aside while preparing topping.
• Make the streusel by cutting the cold butter into a bowl, adding flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, if using. Rub it through your fingers until the streusel is a coarse, sandy/pebbly texture.
• Put the seasoned apples into the pan, top generously with the streusel, and bake at 350° about 30 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown and the apple is starting to bubble up through the topping.
• Serve and enjoy!

APPLE-SPICE TISANE

Steps:

• Add the apple peels, cloves, cinnamon sticks, lemon zest, a drizzle of honey if using and 2 cups water to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes.
• Strain the tisane into another small saucepan and heat it back up. Taste, adding some honey and/or lemon juice if desired. Serve hot.

APPLE STREUSEL BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8x4x2-inch loaf pans.
• 2. In a large bowl combine baking mix, flour, and apple pie spice. In another large bowl combine eggs, LUCKY LEAF Apple Pie Filling, MUSSELMAN'S Apple Sauce, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, and oil. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Top each loaf with remaining brown sugar and walnuts (if using).
• 3. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight for easier slicing.

SPICED STREUSEL SOUR CREAM APPLE PIE

Steps:

• For streusel topping: Combine nuts, brown sugar, cornmeal, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in food processor and pulse on/off until nuts are finely chopped. Add butter and process until small moist clumps form. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
• For filling: Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375 degrees. Toss apples with sour cream in large bowl to coat. Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture over apples and toss to coat.
• Transfer filling to prepared crust. Sprinkle streusel topping over apples, covering completely. Bake pie until apples are tender and streusel is golden, tenting pie if streusel browns too quickly, about 1 hour. Transfer pie to rack and cool slightly.
• Serve pie slightly warm or at room temperature (and definitely with some vanilla ice cream!).
