APPLE CUPCAKES WITH CINNAMON MARSHMALLOW FROSTING
http://www.eatingwell.com
Shredded apple replaces some of the oil and keeps the cake moist in these cinnamon-spiked cupcakes. There is a generous amount of fluffy marshmallow frosting to mound or pipe on top for a festive look. Be sure to frost them right after you make the frosting — it stiffens as it stands and becomes more difficult to spread.
Yields: 12 cupcakes
Total Time: 2 hr 30 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup(s) shredded peeled apples
1/2 cup(s) diced dried apples
3 tablespoon(s) packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon, divided
1/3 cup(s) canola oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
3/4 cup(s) whole-wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup(s) cake flour
3/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) nonfat buttermilk
Frosting
1 cup(s) light brown sugar
1/4 cup(s) water
4 teaspoon(s) (equivalent to 2 egg whites) dried egg whites (see Tips & Techniques), reconstituted according to package directions
1/4 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directions
1.To prepare cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups with cupcake liners or coat with cooking spray.
2.Combine shredded and dried apples in a bowl with 3 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside. Beat oil and the remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Beat in eggs one at a time until combined. Add vanilla, increase speed to high, and beat for 1 minute.
3.Whisk whole-wheat flour, cake flour, baking soda, salt, and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl.
4.With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the batter, starting and ending with dry ingredients and scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until just combined. Stir in the reserved apple mixture until just combined. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. (The cups will be full.)
5.Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before frosting.
6.To prepare frosting: Bring 2 inches of water to a simmer in the bottom of a double boiler. Combine 1 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup water in the top of the double boiler. Heat over the simmering water, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Add reconstituted egg whites, cream of tartar, and pinch of salt. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is glossy and thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the top pan from the heat and continue beating for 1 minute more to cool. Add vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and beat on low just to combine. Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and sprinkle cinnamon on top, if desired.

Blueberry Pie
4 cups blueberries, rinse and drain
3/4 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2/3 cup flour
2 tsp sugar
Dash salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
4 Tbsp ice water
Sprinkle blueberries with sugar; squeeze lemon juice over top. Set aside.
Sift flour, sugar and salt into mixing bowl. Cut shortening into flour. Gradually, add ice water, mixing with pastry blender. Chill dough. Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll half on floured board until thin enough to cover sides and bottom of 9" pie plate. Prick bottom with fork and bake bottom crust 10 minutes @ 400 degrees. This prevents berry juice from soaking through crust. Cool bottom crust about 10 minutes while rolling out remaining dough and cutting into strips.
Fill bottom shell with sweetened blueberries and place strips of dough across top for lattice effect. Use 1 or 2 long strips around edge of plate to seal crusts and bake no longer than 20 minutes @ 400 degrees. If desired, top crust may be rolled in 1 piece and used to make 2 crust pie. Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Apple Spice Cake
Apple Spice Cake
Peanut Butter and Julie Blog
Serves 10-12
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 pounds tart apples, cored and grated
12 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1 cup golden brown sugar, packed
1 cup sugar
Zest of one orange
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the maple glaze
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup golden brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup cream
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon maple extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Prepare the cake: Preheat the oven to 325F degrees. Spray a non-stick 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and all of the spices into a medium bowl. Squeeze the excess juice from the grated apples.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, sugar and orange zest at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Mix in the vanilla.
Beat in the flour mixture on low speed until well incorporated. Measure out 2 1/2 cups of the grated apples and mix them into the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.
Bake the cake for 1 hour, or until a cake tester inserted into the center emerges clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then invert onto a rack set over foil.
Prepare the glaze while the cake bakes: Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and stir constantly for 1 minute. Remove the glaze from the heat.
Using a toothpick or a small skewer, pierce holes all over the top of the warm cake. Pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to be absorbed into the holes for 30 minutes. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature
Pumpkin Nut Cake Roll
Pumpkin Nut Cake Roll
Small amount of vegetable shortening and flour plus parchment paper for preparing pans
¼ cup confectioner's (powdered) sugar for sprinkling on towel
Batter:
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional)
Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup confectioner's (powdered) sugar
Topping:
2 tablespoons confectioners (powdered) sugar
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare one 10½ x15½ x1 inch Jelly Roll pan; lightly grease the pan, line with parchment paper, and then lightly grease the top of the parchment paper and dust with flour.
2.Sprinkle a clean towel with ¼ cup confectioner's (powdered) sugar. Set aside to use after the cake is baked. Tip: A small kitchen towel that is a little larger than the pan works well.
Batter: 3.In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; whisk together to mix. Set aside.
4.In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and beat 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed until the egg foam becomes thick and lemon colored. With the mixer on medium speed, slowly add the sugar to the eggs, either one tablespoon at a time, or in a very slow steady stream, taking from 2 to 3 minutes to add all of the sugar, and beating until the eggs and sugar are fully incorporated. With mixer on medium low speed, stir in the pumpkin until thoroughly combined.
5.With the mixer on low speed, gradually add about ½ of the flour mixture, mix just until blended, and then add the remaining half, mix just until blended, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed.
6.Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with the back of a large spoon. Sprinkle walnuts evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake: 7.Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when lightly touched. Remove from oven, immediately loosen edges of cake from pan and turn the cake over onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper, and then roll the cake and towel together tightly, starting with the narrow end. Place seam side down on a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling: 8.In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, and vanilla; beat together until mixture is smooth. Add powdered sugar; beat until filling is smooth and creamy.
Assembly:
9.Carefully unroll cooled cake but don’t try to make the cake lie completely flat, the edge should remain curled so that the cake doesn’t split.
10.Spread the cream cheese filling over the cake, spreading the filling evenly under the curled edge and leaving a 1½ inch border on the far side. Gently re-roll the cake without the towel, starting with the curled end. Place seam side down on a serving plate. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
Topping:
11.Before serving, use a fine-mesh sieve to dust top of cake with confectioner’s sugar. Refrigerate leftovers.
