Baked Apple

Hey everybody!

Yesterday I made a pre-Christmas meal for my family. There were chicken legs with potatoes and red cabbage. As dessert we had a delicious baked apple and this I want to show you today.
This recipe is very easy to make and tastes delicious. A warm apple with delicious marzipan filling (I love marzipan ). In the marzipan are delicious chopped almonds. With a custard and actually even a scoop of vanilla ice – but we had none at home :(

For this recipe you need circa 35minutes. It costs about 5€.

 Ingredients (4 apples):

100g marzipan
3tbsp. of chopped almonds
4 apples (e.g. Boskoop)
4tbsp.of lemon juice
130ml apple juice
1 package of custard powder
2tbsp. of sugar
250ml milk

if you want: raisins (but I don't like them much)

1.

Cut the into four pieces and mix with the almonds. Then shape into small rolls. Cut out the cores of the apples and put the marzipan roles into. Place the apples in a baking dish and sprinkle with lemon- and apple juice. Then the apples have to roast in the oven (200° for 25 minutes).

2.

Then mix the sauce powder with sugar and three tablespoons of milk. Boil the remaining milk and add the sauce powder to the milk and boil while stirring. Put the sauce over the baked apples and ready is the delicious dessert. 

What is your typical Christmas dessert?

Christmas-Cupcakes

Hello bakingfriends!

Christmas is almost here, so I want to show you today christmas-cupcakes. I've decorated with little Santas and snowflakes. They also taste delicious , because the cream is already in the cupcake.
Unfortunately I did not have enough cream, next time I should do something more or make not so big holes. 

But otherwise they taste like white chocolate with fluffy dough.

You need about 20 minutes for the preparation and 25 minutes for baking. The ingredients cost circa 5,50. (Depending on what you have at home)

Ingredients (for 6 cupcakes): 

For the cupcakes:

2 eggs
80g sugar
80g butter
80g flour
1 small package of baking powder
½ vanilla pod

For the cream: 

200g white chocolate
6tbsp. of whipping cream
sugar pearls

1. 

First you need to preheat oven to 180 ° C, then place the paper cases in the muffin tin. Next, whisk the eggs and sugar up. You get a white, creamy mass.

2.

Bring the butter to melt. Mix the flour with the baking powder and give both gradually to the cream. You have to open the vanilla pod, and scrape out the pulp and add to the dough. Then you have to mix everything well and spread the dough on the paper cases. The dough have to bake for 20 minutes.

3. 

The cupcakes have to cool down on a rack. If they are not so hot, you have to undermine a little bit with a knife.

4. 

For the cream you need to cut the white chocolate into small pieces and melt in the microwave and mix it well. Whip the cream. Give the melted chocolate to the cream and whip it.

5.

Pour the cream with a pastry bag into the cupcakes and extend the upward spiral. Then comes the fun part : decorating :)
