Apple Praline Bread

Praline Apple Bread is perfect with your morning coffee or tea.This is a sponsored post where I received product for recipe creation. All opinions are my own.

Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you I love pralines. Early in my marriage, when I was young and inexperienced, I tried my hand at making pralines. Little did I know how to do so. Looking back, I should have done so much differently. They never set up and I ended up throwing a runny mess away. But I’ve learned through the years and the topping on this apple praline bread is delicious, if I say so myself. The key to making it, I’ve found, is to: 1. not walk away and , 2. stir continuously while boiling. Boil only for the time the recipe requires. If you go any longer, and I’m speaking from experience here, it will start to become candy. Trust me, you don’t want that to happen.

You may have figured out by now that I love a good topping on breads and muffins. Remember my apple streusel muffins from AppleWeek 2016? Or this yummy apple banana streusel bread from Brunchweek 2017? For this recipe I used Honeycrisp apples from Rainier Fruit. What I love about this apple variety is the long shelf life when stored in a cool place, even the organic ones sent for recipe testing.

I can’t believe #AppleWeek is over for another year. I hope you’ve enjoyed everyone’s recipes who participated. I don’t know about you but my “to try” list just got longer. None of this would be possible without our hostess, Carlee from Cooking with Carlee. She has knocked this week out of the park!

Apple Cranberry Galette with Caramel Drizzle

One slice won't be enough of this delicious galette.This is a sponsored post however all my opinions are my own. I received complimentary products to create this recipe.

The holidays will be here before we know it and many are like me in that, you start searching for those holiday recipes early. So much work goes into holiday preparation, some things should be easy. My apple cranberry galette with caramel drizzle is just that, very easy. The little prep work involved in my apple cranberry galette with caramel drizzle is peeling and slicing the apples. Because I used a refrigerated pie crust, you can of course make your own, it takes little time at all because you don’t even need to roll out the crust any larger than what it comes in the package. I also used caramel ice cream topping as a time saver. Again, you could melt caramels or make your own caramel sauce.

Adding the egg wash to brown the edges.

This galette is one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made. In all my years of cooking, I’ve never made anything like this before. I have indulged at dinner parties and enjoyed them. I know I will be making many more versions in the future. It took me a minute to get the pastry folding technique to where I thought it looked good. An egg wash brushed on the edges of the folded pastry helps the sugar to adhere and to brown the edges.

Apple Cranberry Galette baking away!

It’s hard to believe #AppleWeek is almost over. Only one more day. I must mention, yet again, a big thank you to our hostess, Carlee from Cooking with Carlee for such a fabulous week. Here’s hoping she will host again next year! Oh and don’t forget to enter the giveaway below. There are some awesome prizes.

Cheesy Brie and Apple Pull Apart Bread

Cheesy Brie and Apple Pull Apart BreadThis is a sponsored post. I received product to make this recipe. All opinions are my own.

Can you believe it’s already Day 3 of #AppleWeek? It’s halfway over, sadly. Time certainly flies when you’re having fun, especially when apples are involved. Brie is probably my favorite cheese. I think this is now my third recipe on the blog that uses brie. Brie and apples are another match made in heaven. Cheesy brie and apple pull apart bread is a delicious appetizer that combines this pair in a delicious way.

Once we were back home after Hurricane Irma, we got together to with our neighbors for some stress relief. I made this appetizer to take to their house and it was a hit. They asked for the recipe and I came home with an empty dish.

Honey crisp apples and brie combine for a wonderful appetizer.

I used the honeycrisp from Rainier Fruit. The sourdough loaf fit perfectly into my new, beautiful watercolor Pyrex pie plate. If you’ve not seen the collection yet, they are much prettier in person. While you could certainly put the loaf on a foil lined baking sheet, I thought this dish was perfect not only to catch the melted butter but also to use as the serving dish. It’s really that lovely.

A couple of notes about the recipe: I didn’t peel the apples. Because they are sliced so thinly they don’t need to be peeled. That saved some time. I got out my trusty mandolin to get the slices so thin. I wanted them uniform size.

Cheesy Brie and Apple Pull Apart Bread

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Cheesy Brie and Apple Pull Apart Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 round loaf sourdough bread
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 Rainier Fruit Honeycrisp Apples, thinly sliced (I used my mandolin)
  • 7 ounce round Brie cheese, sliced thin

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Using a serrated knife cut the top of the bread diagonally in one direction, then diagonally in the other direction, creating a criss-cross. Do not cut all the way through the bottom of the loaf. Gently fan out the loaf to show the squares or bread.
  3. Place bread in a round Pyrex glass dish.
  4. Melt butter and pour over bread getting into each of the cuts. On one side of each cut wedge an apple and a cheese slice. Use all of the cheese and apple slices. There's no such thing as too much.
  5. Cover bread with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes until bread is golden and crispy and cheese has melted.
  6. Serve immediately.

Mini Apple Muffins with Oatmeal Streusel Topping

Mini Apple Muffins with Oatmeal Streusel ToppingThis is a sponsored post. I received free product to create this recipe. All opinions are my own.

Day 2 of #AppleWeek promises to be just as delicious as day one. Who doesn’t like mini versions of things? It seems like you can eat just a few more than if they were regular size. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. That is certainly the case with these mini apple muffins with oatmeal streusel topping.

Initially I was just going to leave the muffin as is when it comes out of the oven, but after tasting them I felt they needed a touch more sweetness. Plus, I’m a huge fan of a powdered sugar glaze. It’s a glaze that’s so versatile. You can just make it with powdered sugar and water or milk but I decided to use the vanilla from Rodelle in this version. The muffins alone are not too sweet but I think the addition of vanilla keeps the glaze from being too sweet.

These mini muffins are perfect on a brunch buffet, ticket in a lunch box, as a mid-morning snack or as a side when serving a main course salad. I love making muffins or quick breads to enjoy alongside a main dish salad like my strawberry salad with candied almonds. I have to say, even my oldest, who is Mr. Picky, gobbled these up. He’s not a fan of nuts but they were so tiny, he hardly knew they were there. You can certainly leave the nuts out but I think the glaze is really what sold him. He would never touch oatmeal and I didn’t tell him there were oats in the topping. That is until after he tried them.

When I was preparing the apples for this recipe, I tried one of our sponsor products, Veggie Wash to clean the apples. Now, even though Rainier Fruit sent us beautiful, organic Honeycrisp apples, even organic apples can have residue on them. I found Veggie Wash to do a fine job.

Like I mentioned yesterday a big thank you goes out to our hostess of AppleWeek, Carlee from Cooking with Carlee. Without getting into a lot of blogger speak, just know there is SO much that goes into organizing and orchestrating a week-long blogger event. She has rocked this event.

Caramel Apple Nut Bars

Caramel Apple Nut Bars are a fall treat.

Disclaimer: Thank you to #AppleWeek Sponsors: Rodelle, Dreamfarm, Casabella, Flahavan’s Irish Oatmeal, Pryex, Chicago Cutlery, Rainier Fruit, and Veggie Wash for providing prizes for #AppleWeek free of charge. These companies provided the bloggers with samples and product to use for #AppleWeek. All opinions are my own.

AppleWeek is finally here! More than 25 awesome food bloggers have come together to to celebrate one of our favorite fruits, the apple. This week more than 100 recipes will be shared all using apples. To start off the week I’m sharing Caramel Apple Nut Bars. For this recipe I used oatmeal from Flavahan’s and honeycrisp apples from Rainier fruit plus really useful measuring cups and spoons from Dreamfarm.

Caramel and apple are a match made in heaven. It is a quintessential fall combination. Adding nuts take them over the top. It’s not only delicious but a perfect dessert, snack or even breakfast. Well, it does have apples and oats which are breakfast foods, right? After these bars had disappeared, I thought they would make a delicious base for an ice cream sundae. Add more nuts, a drizzle of caramel over some vanilla ice cream. Yum! I’ll have to remember that for next time. There is sweetness, crunch and creaminess to these bars. A little bit of everything. They didn’t last long.

A big, big thank you goes out to our hostess of AppleWeek, Carlee from Cooking with Carlee. Without getting into a lot of blogger speak, just know there is SO much that goes into organizing and orchestrating a week-long blogger event. Especially with so many participants.
