Brown Sugar Apple Pastries Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish and set aside. Place the apples, lemon juice and vanilla in a large bowl and toss to coat. Add the granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons flour and nutmeg, stirring to combine.
• Place remaining 1 cup flour, nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wash and dry apples. Cut the apples in half and remove the core but leave any stems intact. Place apples in baking dish. Divide butter among each core cavity. Top each apple half with a tablespoon of sugar and dash with cinnamon.
• Bake apples until the flesh is tender and they're bubbly and perfect looking, about 30 minutes. Serve with Creamy Custard Sauce.
• Heat the melted ice cream in a small saucepan over low heat until hot. Meanwhile, put the yolks in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. While whisking, slowly drizzle about 1 or 2 tablespoons hot melted ice cream into the yolks until blended. While whisking constantly, slowly add the rest of the hot liquid to the yolk mixture. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and return to low heat.

Steps:

• Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 425°F. Unfold pastry sheet on work surface. Cut into 3 strips along fold lines. Cut strips in half crosswise. Transfer rectangles to baking sheet. Blend 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in small bowl; spread over rectangles. Bake 10 minutes. Pierce crusts with fork to deflate; continue baking until bottoms are crisp, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples. Sauté until beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and lemon peel. Toss until syrup forms and apples are tender but still hold shape, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer crusts to platter. Top each with apples; drizzle with any syrup from skillet. Serve pastries warm or at room temperature with ice cream.

Steps:

• In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add apples. Cook, stirring constantly, until apples are almost tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
• Dissolve cornstarch in water; add to skillet. Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and serve warm.
