Apple Roses (gluten-free)




Rosettes have been all a flutter in social media for the past year.  It's a great trend; I love them.  I decided to give these apple roses a try.  Super easy.  Here's an example video.  Instead of using apricot preserves, I went with cinnamon sugar.  Unfortunately for those of us who can't do gluten, puff pastry is not an option.  As there's no gluten-free puff pastry on the market.  I hope to change that one day!  If you can find a roll-out, ready to bake gluten-free dough - use it!  Otherwise, here's a simple recipe to whip up.

Apple Roses (gluten-free)

Ingredients:

  • Apples, 2-3 of your choice
  • Lemon, 1,juiced
  • Sweet Rice Flour, 125 g
  • Almond Flour, 50 g
  • Oat Flour, 50 g
  • Salt, pinch
  • Baking Powder, 5 g / 1 teaspoon
  • Butter, 50 g melted
  • Egg, 1 large scrambled
  • Cinnamon sugar for dusting
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Prep the apples:  In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix the lemon juice with the water.  Cut the apples in half and core out the seeds.  Slice very thin. Leaving out the top and bottom slices.  Mix apple slices in lemon water and microwave for 3 minutes.  Drain in colander.  Allow to cool before handling.

Make the dough.  Mix together the flours with the salt and then mix in the melted butter and scrambled eggs.  Mix until it comes together.  Roll out on any GF flour dusted surface to about a quarter inch thickness.

Assembly.  Cut dough into strips of 8 inches long by 1.5 inches wide.  Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the dough. Lay down apple slice beginning at the left, then overlapping next slice over half of the previous slice.  Repeat, giving a little space at the end.  Fold dough over the apples.  Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on the dough and apples before rolling up.  Roll up loosely.  Remember, this is organic not perfection.  Place in greased and cinnamon sugared muffin tin.  Bake for about 40-45 minutes, until golden brown.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Image
So continues Food Network's Fall Fest with squash. The first thing to come to my mind, as I sure most people's minds, is butternut squash soup. With good reason. It's comforting, warm, hearty, rich, and not that difficult to make. Most soups start with a mirepoix (onions, carrots, and celery), which creates the aromatic foundation. Then add in cooked tender squash, stock, seasonings, and puree. That simple. Well, I find the most difficult aspect is the handling of the butternut squash. Every time I break one down, I curse at myself for not buying a cheap work horse cleaver from the Asian market. Hence I prefer to roast the butternut squash split in the oven. Then it works it easy to scoop out and add into the stock pan. Roasting adds a great depth of flavor from the Maillard reaction: the browning reaction (think meats, caramel, etc) that breaks down proteins and carbohydrates into small tasty flavor molecules. I add the mirepoix on the baking sheet to roast with the squ

Long John Silver's Style Fried Chicken Planks (gluten-free)

Image
I only eat fried foods a few times a year, at most.  If you are gluten-intolerant, you understand.  It's damn near impossible to find safe non-contaminated fries at a restaurant, let alone gluten-free fried foods.  My favorite fried chicken was Long John Silver's chicken planks.  Ah, heaven.  Perfectly delectable battered chicken with no bones or fuss.  Personally, I'll take it over KFC any day.  I rarely make fried food because it's not the healthiest, nor the cleanest to make, the multiple batches of frying while keeping target temperature, and keeping your cool over the hot oil.  Yes, those are chopsticks in the top picture.  I found it easiest to use them to dredge the chicken in the batter, as well to turn and remove from the cooking oil.  This tastes exactly like how I remember LJS's chicken, even if it has been twelvish years for me!  Make this for loved ones to share - they won't know nor let alone care that it is gluten-free.  This chicken is so perf

Spooky Halloween Buckeyes

Image
Buckeyes are the confectionary for the state of Ohio.  They resemble the nut of the Ohio buckeye tree.  It's a confection made from a peanut butter fudge mostly dipped in chocolate, leaving a circle on top visible.  To make them festive for the season, I topped them with candy eyes I purchased to a cake and candy store.  I think they look adorable with the eyes - more adorable than spooky.  These are homemade Halloween treats that are easy to make and everyone loves, if they like peanut butter.  In this batch I added in a little bit of the fall spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice) which created a little bit of warmth and depth, but not necessary. Spooky Halloween Buckeyes Ingredients: Creamy Peanut Butter, 1 1/2 cups Vanilla Extract, 1 teaspoon Butter, Salted, 1/2 cup softened at room temp. (add in 1/2 teaspoon salt if using unsalted butter) Powdered/Confectioners Sugar, 3 cups, or as needed Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, 1 package/12 ounces Coconut Oil
