Cinnamon Raisin Apple Kuchen Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange apples in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon; set aside 1 tablespoon. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon-sugar over apples. , In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and remaining sugar; beat in the milk and butter until blended. Drop by tablespoonfuls over apples; sprinkle with reserved cinnamon-sugar. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack., Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and water until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat; add butter and vanilla. Serve with warm kuchen.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Mix 1 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, 2 tsp sugar, and salt and sift once.
• Cut 1/2 cup butter into dry mix with a pastry blender to pea size.
• In a small bowl, beat egg with 2 T milk and add to dry mix.
• Mix thoroughly and pat dough into a greased or oiled 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Pare and core apples.
• Cut into thin wedge slices and place on dough in rows until covered. We would cover the thin end of one apple with the thick end of the other.
• Dot apples with 2 T butter and mix 3/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 Tbs flour and cinnamon together.
• Spread dry topping over dotted apples, and bake in oven for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat milk, shortening, egg, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Stir 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt into milk mixture until dough comes together. Spread dough out into the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet.
• Spread apples over the dough on the baking sheet.
• Stir 1 cup sugar, melted butter, 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl until topping is combined. Sprinkle topping over apples.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and topping is golden, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 piece of dough, and refrigerate until ready to assemble the pie.
• Make the cinnamon-roll crust: Lay the remaining piece of dough on a lightly floured surface, and spread 2 tablespoons of the butter evenly on top. Combine 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle evenly over the butter; gently press with your fingers to help the mixture adhere. Roll the dough up into a tight log. Trim and discard about 1 1/2 inches from each end, and cut the remaining log crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the pieces, cut-side down, in a snug circle on floured parchment paper. Lightly dust the pieces with flour, then gently roll out into a 10-inch round. Slide the parchment onto a baking sheet, and refrigerate until ready to assemble the pie.
• Put the dark and golden raisins in a medium bowl with hot water to cover. Let them soak until tender, about 5 minutes, then strain.
• Make the filling: Peel and core the apples, cut them into 1/2-inch-thick slices and toss with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the lemon juice in a large bowl. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the firmer apples soften but hold their shape, 15 to 18 minutes. (The softer apples, like McIntosh, will get very soft and saucy.) Add the flour, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and the nutmeg and salt, and stir until the juices thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the raisins and let the filling cool completely. (The filling can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days.)
• Fill the dough-lined pie plate with the filling in an even layer. Invert the cinnamon-roll crust on top, and peel off the parchment. (It's OK if the individual rounds separate a bit in the process.) Pinch the crusts together. Fold the overhanging dough under itself, and crimp as desired. Brush with the egg, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Bake the pie: Place a baking sheet in the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Set the pie on the hot baking sheet, and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
• If using a glaze, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth. (Add more milk if the glaze is too thick.) Drizzle over the pie.

Steps:

• Scald milk and add butter, sugar,and salt.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water and add to milk mixture.
• Beat in eggs, then beat in flour and nutmeg.
• Cover, and let rise until double, about an hour.
• Divide into 3 pieces.
• Place the 3 pieces into 3 separate greased round cake pans.
• Cover and let rise again.
• For the topping: Spread the 1/2 cup melted butter all over the tops of the 3 kuchens.
• With finger, press holes one inch apart all over the top of the kuchens.
• Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and soft butter.
• Divide brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of the kuchens.
• Bake in 325 degree oven for about 20 min or until golden brown.
• Note: After its cooled, you can add a vanilla glaze over the tops for an extra special treat.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease the pan(s) of your choice according to how moist or firm you like your cake.
• 9x13 inch pan for a moist, gooey cake.
• 10x15 inch jelly roll pan for a firmer, sheet cake.
• Or 2 8x10 disposable pans for firm cakes (that are great for bake sales.).
• In a large mixing bowl, place the cake mix, sour cream, 4 Tablespoons butter and the egg.
• Blend on low speed just until the mixture forms a thick dough (about 1 minute).
• Gently press the dough evenly over the bottom of your chosen pan(s) so that it reaches the sides.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the apple slices with the lemon juice in another mixing bowl.
• Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Remove the cake from the oven but leave the oven on.
• Arrange the apple slices in rows over the top of the cake.
• Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
• Drizzle the remaining 4 Tablespoons of melted butter over the sugar mixture.
• Return the pan(s) to the oven and bake the cake until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (30 - 40 minutes for the firmer cakes), (Ann Byrn bakes her 9x13 for 30-32 minutes but this was too gooey in the center for me).
• Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
• This is wonderful warm but also too good to resist when cool.
• Store covered at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• I have not frozen this cake but it says you can wrap it in foil and freeze it.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, oats, 2 Tbsp. of the brown sugar and 1/4 tsp. of the cinnamon in medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
• Mix water, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, the raisins, tapioca, remaining 1 tsp. cinnamon and the nutmeg in large saucepan. Stir in apples. Cook on medium heat until mixture comes to full boil, stirring constantly. Pour into 8-inch square baking dish; sprinkle with flour mixture.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until juices form bubbles that burst slowly.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place apples in a large bowl with raisins. Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl until combined. Sprinkle over apples and raisins and toss to evenly coat.
• Arrange a sheet of phyllo on a large, flat surface with the shorter side toward you. Brush with melted butter and arrange another sheet on top. Repeat, alternating butter and phyllo, until there are 6 layers, then brush the top layer with butter.
• Evenly arrange apple-raisin mixture on phyllo, leaving a 1-1/2-inch border at the top and sides. Begin to roll the phyllo away from you, folding in the sides as you roll. When you've rolled up the entire pastry, brush any exposed phyllo with butter.
• Place the strudel seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, brush again with butter (you may have a little left over), and cut 4 (1-inch) diagonal slits into the top just through the phyllo. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to 350°F and bake until the apples are knife tender and the juices are bubbling, about 30 to 40 minutes more. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• 1. Dough- Scald milk and add butter, sugar, and salt. Dissolve yeast in warm water in seperate bowl and then add to milk mixture. Beat in eggs and then flour. Cover and let rise until doubled. About an hour. Punch down and divide into 5 pieces. Roll out into desired shape and let rise 30 minutes. Then choose your topping. I used a 9" round cake pan for mine.
• 2. Cinnamon Topping: Use a pastry blender to mix butter and brown sugar and flour. Add cinnamon and sprinkle over dough after it rises the second time. Dot with Butter if desired. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
• 3. Cherry Topping: Heat can of dark cherry pie filling and spread on crust after it rises second time. Bake for 20 minutes at 375.
• 4. Cheese Topping; Mix cottage cheese, egg and sugar in blender intil creamy. Heat slowly until warm on stove. Pour on dough after rises second time. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.
• 5. Butter Topping: Beat together sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Slowly beat in oil. Add oil too fast and it will curdle. Heat on top of stove until hot and pour on crust after second rising. Bake 25 minutes at 375.
• 6. Apple Topping: Peel and slice thinly 3 apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and nutmeg to taste. Roll this dough out in a rectangle. Fill the center with apples and dot with butter. Bake 20 minutes at 375.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Lightly grease and flour a cake pan: 7"x11" (you can substitute an 8" or 9" square cake pan if needed).
• Pare and core the apples and slice them thinly (about 1/4" to 1/2" thick). Mix the cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
• For the cake batter:.
• Cream the 3/4 cup of sugar, the shortening, and egg together until fluffy. Gradually add the milk.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together and stir into the first mixture.
• Spread the batter in the prepared cake pan.
• Arrange the apples on top of the batter in rows, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the apples.
• Bake @ 375 for 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then grease & flour a 13"x9" baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, combine margarine, cake mix & coconut until crumbly.
