Applesauce Crescents Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
• Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom. Set aside.
• In another bowl, with an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and honey until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Beat in applesauce.
• Generously coat a nonstick 9-inch tube pan with cooking spray. Spoon batter into pan; smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (but slightly wet), 50 to 60 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Turn out of pan onto a cutting board or baking sheet; invert cake onto rack, top side up. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon for topping together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Prepare cobbler: mix apple filling, applesauce, white and brown sugars, butter, vanilla, and lemon juice in a pan over medium heat; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Press 1/2 of the crescent dough into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Pour apple mixture over the crust and spread remaining crescent dough over top. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
