Four Flavor Sheet Pan Upside Down Cake Food

FOUR-FLAVOR SHEET PAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, salt, vanilla and 1/3 cup granulated sugar together in a large bowl until completely combined. Whisk the flour, baking powder and baking soda together in another large bowl until completely combined. Fold the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture with a silicone spatula until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps). Reserve 2 tablespoons of batter in small bowl and set aside.
• Brush 2 tablespoons butter on a 18-by-13-inch sheet pan and pour in the batter, using a spatula to smooth out the top. Tap the tray on the counter a few times to even out and flatten the batter.
• Stir the warmed jam in a small bowl until pourable. Imagine the batter in the pan divided into four sections (2 across and 2 down). Dollop the jam, about 1 teaspoon at a time, over the surface of one section. (You want to see red dots of jam sitting on top of the batter.) Using a toothpick or small skewer, swirl the jam into the batter, making a marbled pattern. Top with sliced strawberries.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over a second section of the batter. Arrange banana slices in a herringbone pattern over a third section of the batter and sprinkle the fruit with the remaining 1 to 2 teaspoons granulated sugar.
• Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and reserved batter together in a small bowl, and dollop, about 1 teaspoon at a time, over the last section of the batter. (You want to see a lot of brown dots sitting on top of the batter.) Using another toothpick or small skewer, swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, making a marbled pattern.
• Put the sheet pan in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 400 degrees F. Bake, rotating the sheet pan halfway through baking, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center of the pancake comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes.
• Brush the pancake with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and let cool 15 minutes before cutting. Stir together the confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and drizzle over the cinnamon swirl quadrant.
• Serve the pancakes with maple syrup and whipped cream.

FOUR-FLAVOR SHEET PAN HOLIDAY COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-18-inch sheet pan with cooking spray. Line with a piece of parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the short sides.
• Make the chocolate-peanut butter cookie: Mix 1 tube of the sugar cookie dough with the powdered peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate-peanut butter candies, reserving the rest for topping.
• Arrange the sheet pan with a long side facing you. Visualize the pan divided into 4 equal vertical strips. Press the chocolate-peanut butter cookie dough down the far left stripe. Sprinkle with the sanding sugar.
• Make the snickerdoodle cookie: Mix the remaining tube of sugar cookie dough with 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a medium bowl until completely combined.
• Press the snickerdoodle cookie dough in a stripe down the section next to the chocolate-peanut butter cookie dough. Mix the granulated sugar with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle it over the snickerdoodle cookie dough.
• Make the chocolate-chocolate chip cookie: Mix 1 tube of the chocolate chip cookie dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons cocoa powder in a medium bowl until well combined. Fold in 1/4 cup of the candy-coated chocolates.
• Press the chocolate-chocolate chip cookie dough in a stripe down the section next to the snickerdoodle cookie dough. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup candy-coated chocolates.
• Make the chocolate chip cookie: Press the remaining tube of chocolate chip cookie dough down the remaining quarter of the sheet pan. Press the milk chocolate toffee and cookie crunch squares into the dough, making 5 rows of 2.
• Bake the cookie until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of each type of cookie comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes.
• While the cookie is still warm, top the chocolate-peanut butter cookie with the remaining chopped chocolate-peanut butter candies. Press the snickerdoodle white chocolate truffle halves all over the snickerdoodle cookie. Top the chocolate-chocolate chip cookie with the marshmallows and sprinkle the chocolate chip cookie with the snowflake sprinkles. Allow to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.
• Use the parchment overhangs to lift the cookie from the pan, then cut into squares.

FOUR-FLAVOR SHEET PAN PIE

Steps:

• For the crusts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll 3 of the pie crusts on a lightly floured work surface. Stack them on top of each other. Roll out the thick, layered dough to a 15-by-21-inch rectangle. Press into a rimmed baking sheet so that the crust comes up the sides and hangs over slightly. This will be the bottom crust. Chill until ready to use, at least 30 minutes.
• Use the remaining crust for the top of the pie. Unroll it on a lightly floured work surface and roll it to a 14-by-18-inch rectangle. Cut the dough in half so you have two 7-by-9-inch pieces. One half will be the top crust for the apple portion of the pie. Cut the other half into 1-inch diagonal strips to use for the lattice on the cherry pie. Place the rectangle and strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill until ready to use.
• For the apple pie: Toss the apples in a medium bowl with the sugar and lemon juice. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and cook until thickened, about 1 minute more. Cool completely.
• For the sour cherry pie: Place the cherries in a medium bowl. Whisk 1/4 cup cherry juice with the cornstarch in a small saucepan until completely smooth. Add the remaining cherry juice and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick and glossy, about 30 seconds. Pour the sauce over the cherries and gently fold to combine. Cool completely.
• For the pumpkin pie: Whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and the egg and in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• For the pecan pie: Whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, eggs and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the pecans and set aside.
• Once all fillings are made, begin assembling the pie. Remove both baking sheets with dough from the refrigerator.
• Visualize the sheet pan is divided in half lengthwise and then crosswise so you have 4 equal quadrants. Each quadrant will hold a different pie filling. Prick the bottom crust all over with a fork.
• Add the pie fillings in this order: Add the apple pie filling to the upper left quadrant of the crust; spread it to cover a 7-by-9-inch rectangle. Moving counter clockwise, pour the pumpkin filling right under the apple pie filling and spread it the same size as the apple filling. Spread out the cherry filling next to the pumpkin filling. Fill the top right empty space with the pecan filling.
• Cover the apple pie quadrant with the reserved rectangle of dough. Lay the pie strips out diagonally over the cherry pie quadrant. Press any remaining strips of dough around the edge of the pie to thicken the rim. Crimp the edge of the pie, making sure to incorporate and crimp together the dough from the apple quadrant. Brush the edges and the dough on top of the pie with egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Cut decorative slits in the apple pie crust.
• Bake until all pies are set and the crust on the apple pie and cherry pie is golden brown and crisp, 55 minutes to 1 hour 5 minutes.
