TAIWANESE PINEAPPLE CAKES

Steps:

• For the pineapple filling: Put the drained pineapple in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until any remaining liquid has cooked off and the pineapple is almost completely dry, about 12 minutes. Add the granulated sugar, corn syrup, cornstarch and lemon juice. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is golden brown, very thick and jammy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate, uncovered, until completely cool, about 1 hour. This can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
• For the pastry dough: Once the pineapple filling is cool, make the dough. Pulse the cake flour, butter, confectioners' sugar, milk powder, custard powder and salt in a food processor until the butter is thoroughly mixed into the flour and the dough is starting to clump together, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolk, then continue to pulse until a smooth, homogenous dough forms. Scoop the dough into fifteen 1 tablespoon-size pieces, then roll into uniform balls.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Spray the inside of each of fifteen 1 1/2-by-2-inch rectangular aluminum molds generously with nonstick cooking spray and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Divide the cold pineapple filling into fifteen 2 teaspoon-size balls.
• Working one at a time, use a rolling pin to roll one dough ball into a thin round (about 3 inches wide and about 1/8 inch thick) on a piece of parchment lightly dusted with flour. Place one ball of filling in the center of the dough, then shape the dough up and around the filling, pinching the ends to seal. Roll between the palms of your hands to make uniform. Place into one of the greased molds, then gently press so it fills the mold and is level with the top edges. Repeat with the remaining filling and dough until all 15 cakes are formed.
• Bake until the top of each cake is matte and puffed slightly and the bottom is light golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then carefully press out of the molds. Enjoy warm or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

DORSET APPLE TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a rectangular baking tin (approx 27 x 20cm) with baking parchment. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples, then squeeze over the lemon juice. Set aside.
• Put the butter, caster sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour and baking powder into a large bowl and mix well until smooth. Spread half the mixture into the prepared tin. Arrange half the apples over the top of the mixture, then repeat the layers. Sprinkle over the demerara sugar.
• Bake for 45-50 mins until golden and springy to the touch. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then turn out of the tin and remove the paper. Cut into bars or squares.

BAKED HASSELBACK APPLES WITH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place the apple halves, cut-side down, on a cutting board and slice in 1/8-inch intervals, making sure not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Arrange, cut-side down, in the prepared baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Carefully fan the apple slices open and spoon the oat mixture on top. Gently push some of the mixture into the cuts using the handle of the spoon.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the apples are tender, 10 minutes more. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Serve the baked apples topped with vanilla ice cream.

ITALIAN APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a standard bundt cake pan with melted butter or cooking spray; set aside.
• Peel and core all three apples. Dice two of the apples into about half inch cubes. Grate one of the apples on a box grater using the larger holes. Place the apples in a medium bowl and toss with two tablespoons of lemon juice and one teaspoon of lemon zest; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Use a handheld mixer to beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be pale in color. Add in the milk, olive oil, and vanilla, and mix until combined. Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
• Fold the apples into the batter and mix until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the cake with two tablespoons of sugar.
• Bake on the center rack of the oven for about 40-50 minutes. You'll know the cake is done when it starts to pull away from its sides. Also, a toothpick inserted in the cake will come out mostly clean, except for some crumbs. Let the cake cool on a baking rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool completely.
• Once the cake is completely cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, soda and salt. Make a well in the center and set aside.

• Spread batter in a greased and floured 9 x 13-inch pan. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes.
• In a small saucepan combine the brown sugar, butter and cream.
• Cook and stir till bubbly and all of the sugar is dissolved. Cool slightly. Drizzle warm sauce over cake, when it has cooled for 5 minutes, so it can seep into the cake, keeping it moist.
