Moonshine Sauteed Apple And Peanut Butter Trifle Food

SALTED PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Steps:

• For the caramel sauce: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the sugar to a heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat and let the sugar melt without stirring. Continue to cook until the sugar turns a deep brown color around the edges, but is still clear in some places, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn off. Stir, making sure all the sugar has melted. Slowly pour in the cream, stirring the entire time, and being careful because the sugar is very hot and will probably splatter. If the caramel sauce seizes up, just return it to the heat and stir until all the lumps dissolve. Stir in the salt and set aside to cool.
• For the crust: Add the pretzels and graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until ground. Drizzle in the melter butter and pulse to evenly coat. Transfer the pretzel mixture to a bowl and pour in 1/2 cup caramel sauce. Stir to combine and press into the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• For the filling: Whip the sugar and cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until evenly combined. Add the cream and continue to whip until smooth and light. Add the peanut butter and mix until the filling is creamy and well combined. Add the filling evenly to the cooled crust.
• For the garnish: Whip the heavy cream and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until light and fluffy and the cream holds the shape of the whisk. Spoon it evenly over the filling. Refrigerate for 45 to 60 minutes or until ready to serve. Drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce and sprinkle peanuts on top just before serving.

PEANUT BUTTER TRIFLE

Steps:

• Pour each package of pudding mix into a separate bowl. Add 2 cups cold milk to each bowl and whisk for 2 minutes. Set one bowl of chocolate pudding aside. Stir peanut butter and 1 cup whipped topping into the second bowl.
• Place a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a trifle dish. Spread 1/3 of the chocolate pudding on top, top with 1/3 of the chocolate-peanut butter pudding, and layer with more graham crackers. Repeat layers 2 more times. Spread remaining frozen whipped topping on top and decorate with extra graham crackers and peanut butter cups.
• Chill until pudding is firm and graham crackers have fluffed up, 6 hours to overnight.

CHOCOLATE AND ESPRESSO LAYER CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER ICING

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two 8-inch nonstick cake pans with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, espresso, coconut oil, vanilla and eggs. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add in the wet mixture, whisking until just combined.
• Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake on the center rack until puffed, the sides pull away from the edges and an inserted cake tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven, immediately cover them with clean kitchen towels and press any domed portions down¿careful, it's hot! (This will help make sure that you don't have to level the cakes.) Allow the cakes to cool in their pans to room temperature. When completely cooled, invert onto plates.
• For the icing: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed, about 2 minutes. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly mixed. Add the peanut butter and mix on medium speed to combine. Again, turn the mixer off. Mix in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, on LOW speed (or else you'll have powdered sugar everywhere!). Add the vanilla and mix once more.
• Transfer the icing to a piping bag. Ice the top of one cake layer, using a circular motion, starting from the outside and gradually moving to the center; do not ice the sides of the cake. Set the second cake layer on top of the first and repeat with the icing; again, do not ice the sides. Drag the back of a spoon in a side-to-side motion across the icing on top to lend a beautifully textured look to the icing.
• Sprinkle the iced cake with the chopped peanuts. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and sugar together until thoroughly combined. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, and stir to combine. The batter will be thick at this point, now it is time to scoop.
• Using a scant 1 tablespoon portion, drop the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray a small offset spatula with cooking spray and press the balls down until they are 1/3-inch thick; press a little more deeply in the center. Fill each with 1/4 teaspoon of the grape jelly and spread it in a thin layer.
• Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Let the cookies cool; this part is really important, because it is when the cookies firm up and get their perfect cookie crunch.
• Cool and EAT!
