Good morning one and all!
This is step 2 in a new recipe I developed for your Gluten-free Christmas Cookie Recipes.
I know the last 2 days I have actually been posting preparation recipes and not actual Cookie recipes but I prefer to focus on one part at a time to give people time to get recipes made. Plus I looooooove dragging out the Christmas holidays!
Here is the second part, of what promises to be a beautiful and delightful cookie recipe that will become a regular part of your holiday baking repertoire.
APPLE PIE COOKIE GEM FILLING:
Ingredients:
-5-6 Medium Large Granny Smith Apples (no other apple, granny Smith hold up under baking best)
-1/2 Cup Real Apple Juice (the brown kind, not the fake yellow pee one)
-1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (for sautéing)
-1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for sautéing)
-Small pinch of Kosher Salt
-1 Tbsp Real Vanilla Extract
-2-3 tsp Cinnamon Ground
-3 Tbsp Maple Syrup
-3 Tbsp Dark Brown Sugar
-1 1/2 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder dissolved in 1 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
Method :
-Peel and cut apples in small cubes, place in water with a Tbsp of lemon juice to keep from browning.
-In a saucepan big and deep enough to hold the apples(don't put the apples in yet), heat olive oil and butter on medium heat until butter is sizzling.
-Strain water off apples and shake well then quickly pour in pan, you do not want the butter to burn. Sautée for 4 minutes.
-Add cinnamon
-Add salt, brown sugar and maple syrup, stir and cook for 1 minute.
-Add juice and vanilla, cook for 2 minutes.
-Add arrowroot starch slurry (a slurry is what you made when you mixed the arrowroot powder with the water, it's to thicken) Stir constantly and cook for 2 minutes then add the 2 Tbsp of butter.
-Stir and remove from heat, allow to cool completely, stirring occasionally. Transfer cooled mixture to container with air see tight lid.
-Chill until ready to use. Lasts 1 week in fridge, can freeze but not recommended.
-Use in Salted caramel apple pie gems cookie recipe.
