Apple Crumble

-

I often get a baking idea when I see produce that are in season or an ingredient that is on special.  I was at the local market and granny smith apples were on special for only 69 cent a kilo so what a great excuse to make Apple Crumble for a cold winter's day.

This recipe is super easy.  I added a twist to the crumble by adding frozen mixed berries I had in the freezer.  You can use any varieties of apples or even pears are great.

See what fruits you have in your kitchen and why not make a delicious Apple Crumble.

Apple Crumble 

Ingredients

· 6 apples
· 5 tablespoons water
· 60gm butter
· 1 teaspoon cinnamon
· ⅓ cup self-raising flour
· 3 tablespoons brown sugar
· 3 tablespoons desiccated coconut
· 3 tablespoons rolled oats

Instructions

1. Set oven to 190°C

2. Peel and slice apples. Place into an oven-proof dish or small ramekins. Sprinkle cinnamon over apples and add water.

3. To make the crumble, rub butter into flour until mixture is crumbly. Mix in brown sugar, coconut and rolled oats. Sprinkle the crumble
evenly over the apples in the oven-proof.

4. Bake for 30 minutes or until the crumble is
golden brown on top.

5. May be served with ice-cream, custard or cream.

Tips

·Leave butter in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the crumble so the butter isn’t too soft.

· Only use the tip of your fingers to rub the flour and butter together.

· Apples can be cut into slices or cubes.

· Other fruits can be added to the apple crumble for a new flavour. I added frozen mixed berries to this recipe.

· If you want super soft apples like the canned apples in tins, you can cook the sliced or cubed apple in a saucepan with some water and a little of sugar until the apples are soft and then use it in the recipe.

Coffee Kisses

I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day. Happy Baking xo Coffee Kisses Ingredients · 250 grams butter, softened · ⅔ cups icing sugar · 2 teaspoons instant coffee · 2 cups plain flour Filling · 45 grams dark chocolate, melted · Icing sugar Instructions 1.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

-

I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends.

Viennese Biscuits

These Viennese biscuits are often found at bakeries and cafes.  I have often made them by just piping them into round biscuits.  This time I thought I would make the traditional looking Viennese finger biscuits with the ends dipped in chocolate. These buttery melt-in-your-mouth biscuits are so delicious.  They taste even better when the ends of the biscuits are dipped in chocolate and sprinkles added.  You can also sandwich two biscuits together with jam and buttercream. I recommend that you make these biscuits in warmer weather or make sure the butter is at room temperature and quite soft.  This helps to make the mixture easier to pipe onto the baking trays. Happy Baking xo Viennese Biscuits Ingredients · 220 grams butter · ½ cup icing sugar · 1 tablespoon cornflour · 1 cup plain flour · ½ cup self-raising flour Decorations · Sprinkles · Dark chocolate Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 180°C. 2.
