Gingerbread Apple Flan With Apple Custard Recipes

Steps:

• Place the sugar in a saucepan, and moisten it with the water without stirring. Bring to a boil and cook until light golden brown. Immediately pour the caramel into an 8 to 9 cup mold (a cake pan will do) and swirl and tilt the mold to coat it with the caramel, including the walls.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter and let it foam. Add the apples and cook on medium low heat, covered, for 15 minutes. Add the brandy and flame it, then continue to cook, shaking the pan, for 2 minutes or so.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the half-and-half and the apples. Pour this custard into the caramel-lined mold and bake in a water bath for 50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Remove the flan from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Run a knife around the edge of the mold then turn the flan out onto a serving platter. Pour any caramel sauce from the mold over the flan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
• Combine flour, brown sugar, 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 1 ¾ tsps of the ginger, remaining spices and salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Add 2 of the eggs, molasses and 6 tblsps of the butter and blend until just combined.
• Scrape dough into buttered 9 or 10 inch springform pan and, with lightly-floured hands, pat it evenly onto the bottom and 2 inches up sides of pan.
• Arrange the apple slices, cored side down, in concentric circles over the gingerbread.
• Sprinkle them with remaining ¼ tsp ginger and bake for 30 minutes, or until apples are browned lightly.
• Whisk together remaining 2 eggs, ¼ cup sugar, 4 tblsps butter, rind and lemon juice and pour evenly over apples, being careful not to let any drip onto sides of pan.
• Bake another 20-25 minutes, or until custard is just set.
• Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples; cook and stir until tender. Set aside and allow to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
• In a large bowl, mix 3/4 cup of butter, honey, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing each one until blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, cloves, ginger and salt; stir into the batter, alternating with the milk. Stir in the walnuts and cooked apples just until evenly distributed. Divide evenly between the prepared pans and spread evenly.
• Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool the cakes on a wire rack. Keep the oven on for the walnuts.
• To make the candied walnuts for the top of the cake, whip the egg whites in a clean bowl until foamy. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon and walnuts. Spread the nuts out on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Cool completely before using.
• To make the frosting, mix together the butter, confectioners' sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Place one layer of cake on a serving plate and spread with a thin layer of the cream cheese icing. Top with most of the apple filling and spread evenly. Place the other layer of cake on top with the bottom facing up. Spread remaining cream cheese icing over the top and sides. Decorate the top with remaining apple filling and sprinkle with candied walnuts.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• MAKE THE CRUST: Sift together the flour, sugar, spices, salt, and baking powder.
• Add the margarine one tablespoonful at a time and cut in with a pastry cutter, knife, or your fingertips.
• Drizzle hte molasses and water over the dough, mixing with your fingertips until the crumbs of dough begin to cling together.
• Set aside 1/2 cup of the dough. Gather together the rest of the dough and knead it into a ball. Press it evenly into the bottom and sides of a pie pan and bake for 10 minutes.
• MAKE THE FILLING: While the crust bakes, combine in a mixing bowl all the filling ingredients except the tapioca starch.
• Sprinkle the tapioca over the apple mixture and mix until the starch is dissolved.
• ASSEMBLE THE PIE: Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, and crumble the remaining 1/2 cup of dough over the filling.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 more minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake 30 minutes more; the filling should be bubbling and the apples should be tender.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
