Caramel Pecan Cookie Sticks/ #FlavorsofFall

Tweet

 I received product from the sponsor to

create the recipe below. All opinions on 

the product are mine. 

This week I am participating in a fun group celebrating fall and all the fun and tasty foods that come along with it! If you are like me, then you really love all the foods that celebrate this colorful season and you will love all the recipes coming over the next week from myself and some blogger friends! Millican Pecan Co. is one of our tasty sponsors this week, along with Door County Coffee! As you scroll down you will find an exciting giveaway featuring products from each of our sponsors! Don't forget to enter, and GOOD LUCK!

Today I am sharing my Caramel Pecan Cookie Sticks! They are a fun shortbread cookie full of pecan pieces from Millican Pecan Co. and they are topped off with a bit of caramel drizzle! I think they look and taste like fall, and I know they will be a hit in your house!

Caramel Pecan Cookie Sticks 
(makes 1 dozen cookie sticks) 
(printable recipe at end of page)

1 cup Butter
3/4 cup Sugar
2 cups Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1-1 1/2cups Pecan Pieces
15 Caramel Squares

 In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium speed, for 30 seconds. Add the sugar. Mix on medium speed until incorporated. In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mix to the butter mix. Mix together to form your dough.

Take the pecan pieces and distribute them into the molds of the pan.

 Although this pan has a design on it, it will make no difference in the outcome of these cookies because the pecans are on the bottom. Take approx. 1 tablespoon of dough and push it into the mold of the pan. You might need a little bit more. Cover the pecans like above. 
Bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes.

 As they brown and cook, watch them closely as it doesn't take very long. Remove from oven to cool. Once cool, take them out with any object that won't scratch your pan. I used a plastic fork. It was gentle on the cookie edge, and didn't scratch. Let the cookies cool.

 After the cookies are cooled, melt the caramel. Place the cookies on wax paper. Drizzle the caramel over the cookies.

This is a really easy recipe that highlights the deliciousness of the pecans and adds a bit of sweetness from the caramel. Plus, I think it looks and tastes like fall!

Deconstructed Chocolate Caramel Mini Apple Pie / #appleweek

Tweet

This post is sponsored in conjunction with AppleWeek .

I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in

the creation of the AppleWeek recipes.

All opinions are mine alone.

My favorite part of an apple pie is the apples and that sweet, cinnamon sauce that they are cooked in. Mmmm...! So I thought it would be fun to make a pie with a lot of the filling and less of the crust. Don't get me wrong, I love the crust also. But sometimes you just have to change things up a bit! That's how I ended up with this Deconstructed Chocolate Caramel Mini Apple Pie!

Deconstructed Chocolate Caramel Mini Apple Pie
(printable recipe at end of page)
(2 Mini Apple Pies)

1 package of refrigerated Pie Crust
1 Nordic Ware Reversible Pie Top Cutter 
1-2 tablespoons Flour
1 teaspoon unsalted Butter, melted
1/4 cup Sugar

2-3 tablespoons Cinnamon
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Pinch Nutmeg
1 cup Caramel Bits
2 ounces Milk Chocolate, chopped
1-2 tablespoons Heavy Duty Whipping Cream

Before opening your pie crust, let it come to room temperature. Unroll the packaged pie crust. Of course, you could make your own pie crust if you wanted. Sprinkle a tablespoon of flour on the Nordicware Pie Top Cutter. Place the piece of pie crust on top of the apple side of the cutter. Using a rolling pin, roll over the dough until it looks like the picture above. Then pull off the dough in between the apples. Put the dough aside, and use a toothpick to pick out the apples. Place them on a parchment covered cookie sheet. 

Reroll the dough and the 4 little leaves in the middle. You don't need the cute little leaves for this recipe, but it is hard to avoid them. Place on pie top cutter and do it all over again.

By the end, you will be using little pieces of dough. 

Keep cutting the dough until it is all gone. I used this Swiss Diamond Paring Knife to help me with the job! Very handy and sharp!

Brush each apple with the melted butter.

Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle the mix onto the apple cutouts. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Let cool. These can be made a day or two before serving, keeping in a sealed container.

Chop your apples into small bite sized pieces. Click here to get the most efficient way to get these small pieces! Place apples on the stove with a pat of butter. Add the cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg. Cook on medium, stirring often until slightly soft. Remove from stove, or if you wish to enjoy your pies warm, just turn heat to low, and keep an eye on them while you finish the dish!

Get your caramel melting in a double boiler. Once it is melted, heat 1 tablespoon of heavy duty whipping cream in the microwave until warm. It takes less than 10 seconds. Slowly pour the warm cream into your caramels, stirring constantly until they are incorporated. If the cream is cold, it will not mix well, making your caramel too hard. This way it will be creamy. 

Chop your chocolate into small and large pieces.

Start building the deconstucted pies by placing some apple cutouts in the bottom of the bowls.

Add the cooked apples,

the melted caramel, and top with the chopped chocolate! 

Add a couple more apple pie crusts for fun! Serve and enjoy!

*a couple notes~ This would be great ala mode, and for another fun taste, add chopped peanuts on top of the chocolate and caramel. Then it will taste like a chocolate caramel apple! also....There is no need to make as many apple crusts as I made. Since I was making them anyway,  I froze them for future desserts!

Battered Chocolate Caramel Apple Slices / #appleweek

Tweet

With State Fair season coming up soon, I thought it would be fun to come up with a yummy treat, like you might see at the fair. These Battered Chocolate Caramel Apple Slices are easy to make, and they are tasty too! I used a boxed pancake mix, but I'm sure a homemade recipe will work also. What I love about these is that the pancake coating is light and fluffy, but the apple stays crisp and delicious! These are such fun!

Battered Chocolate Caramel Apple Slices
(printable recipe at end of page)
(makes 8 slices)
Pancake Mix 
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 Rainier HoneyCrisp Apple
1/2 cup Flour
Stick to insert in Apple Slices
Vegetable Oil for frying 
Chocolate
Caramel

Mix pancake batter according to package directions.

Add vanilla to batter. Also add a tablespoon of water at a time to the mix until it is smooth and a little thinner.

 Core the apple.

Place apple slices in a bowl of water.

 Measure the flour and place in a bowl.

 Add a stick to each apple. Dip apple in flour and lightly coat it.

 Dip apple into batter. Let it drip off the loose batter. It should stop dripping after a few drips.

Place apples in oil and fry. Your oil should be at 350 degrees. Turn the apples while they are in the oil. It should only take a few minutes to fry. After taking the apples from the fryer, place them on paper towels to dry.

Melt chocolate and caramels in double boilers. 

Drizzle the apples with chocolate and caramel however you want. I drizzled with chocolate first, refrigerated them and then drizzled them with caramel and refrigerated them again. I think sprinkles would be cute on top of the chocolate and caramel, and so would powdered sugar!

Enjoy!

Chocolate Caramel Apple Bundt Cake / #BundtBakers

Tweet

It's October and it's Bundt Bakers time, and this Chocolate Caramel Apple Bundt Cake said CELEBRATE to me! This classic chocolate cake is stuffed full of small apple bites, rimmed with toffee chips, and drizzled with caramel sauce. It definitely screams fall!

Chocolate Caramel Apple Bundt Cake
(printable recipe at end of post)
(makes 8 mini bundt cakes)

2 1/4 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
Pinch Salt
2/3 cup Butter
1 3/4 cups Sugar
2 Eggs
3 ounces unsweetened Chocolate, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/4 cups Water
2-3 Granny Smith Apples, cut in to bite sized pieces  
12-15 ounces melted Caramel Bits
1/4 cup Toffee Bits

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease and lightly flour the bundt pan. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In your mixing bowl, mix together the butter and sugar. Beat until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each one. 

Mix in the chocolate and vanilla. Start adding the flour mix, alternating with the water, on low speed, just until combined.

Place apple pieces in to a medium pan. Add butter and sugar. Cook apples until they are soft and starting to caramelize about 10-15 minutes.

Pour batter in to prepared pan.Add approximately 1/4 of the cooked apples to the batter. Use a toothpick to push the apples in to the batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes. 

Cool cake on rack, and remove from pan. When completely cooled, place on plate.

Melt caramel bits in a double boiler. Use a knife to spread a thin layer of caramel around the bottom of the cake. The best way to do this is to spread a little caramel on the cake, then attach bits by pushing a small handful onto the wet caramel. Then move around the cake doing this until the entire cake is trimmed in brittle.

Fill the center of the bundt with a small bit of caramel and apple pieces. Let them overflow on to the cake to look decorative, if you would like. Drizzle melted caramel over the top of the cake and the caramel. This cake tastes great cold or at room temperature!

Enjoy your Chocolate Caramel Apple Bundt Cake!
