Categories     Afternoon tea, Breakfast, Dessert, Side dish, Snack, Treat

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

350g plain flour
25g butter
50g dark muscovado sugar , plus 1 tbsp extra for the topping
50g pecan , chopped
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cinnamon
284ml tub soured cream
1 egg , beaten
3 eating apples (about 140g/50z each) , peeled and cored
2-3 tbsp milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line a muffin tin with muffin cases. In a small bowl, use your fingertips to rub 50g of the flour together with the butter to make breadcrumbs. Stir through 1 tbsp sugar and the chopped pecans, then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt, then stir in the sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Coarsely grate two of the apples, then beat together with the soured cream, egg and 2 tbsp milk. Make a well in the dry ingredients and quickly fold through the wet ingredients, adding an extra tbsp milk if really dry. Don't over-mix or your muffins will be tough. It doesn't matter if there are lumps of flour.
  • Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases - they should be about two-thirds full - then sprinkle over the pecan topping. Thinly slice the final apple, then poke slices into the tops of the muffins. Bake for 20 mins or until risen, golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

APPLE PECAN STUFFING



Apple Pecan Stuffing image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for finishing
1/2 bunch fresh sage
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups raw pecans
2 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
5 cups sourdough bread (crusts removed), hand-torn into 1-inch pieces
1/4 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Set a large saute pan over medium heat and add olive oil, sage and thyme sprigs. As the oil heats up the herbs will crackle and fry, infusing the oil. Remove the sage and thyme and set aside on a paper towel to drain - these can be as a garnish, if desired. Add onions to the pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes until caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Remove onions from pan and add apples. Crush the pecans and add to the pan. Add more oil, if needed and season with salt and pepper. Gently saute until pecans are lightly toasted and apples are just cooked slightly - about 3 to 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl whisk together egg, cream, chicken stock, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add torn sourdough, caramelized onions, apples, pecans and chopped parsley. Using a wooden spoon, mix the stuffing until well combined.
  • Scoop stuffing into cavity of pork crown roast and cook accordingly with roast.

Provided by Ochre Bakery, Detroit, MI

Categories     Bon Appétit     Muffin     Breakfast     Apple     Honey     Pecan     Fall     Vegetarian     Buttermilk     Butter     snack     Kid-Friendly     Soy Free     Peanut Free

Yield Makes about 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 medium Pink Lady or Jonagold apples
⅔ cup pecans
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. honey
Flaky sea salt
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup spelt flour or all-purpose flour
1½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup plus 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup buttermilk
Raw sugar or granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Lightly coat flat top of a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray (this will prevent muffins from gluing themselves to the pan). Line cups with double layers of muffin liners. Cut apples into quarters; remove cores. Cut each quarter into 4 wedges; set aside.
  • Pulse pecans in a food processor until you have a fine meal with a bit of texture, like coarse sand. Heat a large skillet over medium-high, then add pecans and toast, stirring, until darkened and very fragrant (it's okay if they're even a tiny bit burnt in spots), about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.
  • Wipe out skillet and return to medium-high heat. Melt butter, swirling pan so that it's evenly coated, until foaming, then add reserved apples. Drizzle with honey and generously sprinkle with sea salt. Cook, tossing often, until apples are tender and deep golden brown and glazed with honey, about 5 minutes. Scrape into a medium bowl and let cool.
  • Add all-purpose flour, spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt to nuts; whisk to combine. Beat eggs and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed until mixture is thick, pale, and tripled in volume, 8-10 minutes.
  • Combine oil and buttermilk in a measuring glass. With motor running, gradually pour into egg mixture, stopping as soon as incorporated to prevent eggs from deflating. Scrape into bowl with dry ingredients and fold until just combined (be careful not to overmix). Scoop about 2 Tbsp. batter into each muffin cup and place an apple slice on top. Divide remaining batter among muffin cups, filling until just below the top (you may have a spoonful or two of batter left over). Place 1 apple slice on top of each, then spoon any glaze left in the bowl on top. (You'll have a few leftover apple slices; eat them.) Sprinkle each muffin with some raw sugar and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Bake muffins until golden brown all over, rotating pan halfway through, 22-28 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Do Ahead: Batter can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Preparation
Before starting the recipe, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with muffin liners and set it aside.

Conclusion

Apple and pecan stuffing muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any special occasion. These muffins are a great twist on classic stuffing, and they are sure to impress your guests. Whether you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner, a Christmas feast or a casual dinner party, these muffins will be a hit. In this article, we will be sharing some valuable tips on how to make the perfect apple and pecan stuffing muffins recipe. Tip 1: Choose the Right Bread The key to making great stuffing muffins is to use the right bread. It is best to use a dense bread, like sourdough or whole wheat, as it will hold up better to the moisture of the other ingredients. Avoid using soft or fluffy bread, as it will result in a very wet and mushy stuffing. Tip 2: Choose the Right Apples Choosing the right apples is crucial when making apple and pecan stuffing muffins. It is best to use apples that are sweet-tart, like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. These apples will hold up well in the muffins and provide a nice balance of sweetness and acidity. Tip 3: Incorporate Vegetables To add more flavor and nutrition to your stuffing muffins, consider incorporating vegetables like onions, celery, and carrots. These vegetables will provide depth of flavor and help balance the sweetness of the apples and the richness of the pecans. Tip 4: Toast Your Pecans Toasting your pecans before adding them to your stuffing muffins will add another layer of flavor and texture. Simply spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until fragrant. Tip 5: Use Fresh Herbs Fresh herbs like sage, thyme, and rosemary are essential for making flavorful and fragrant stuffing muffins. Using fresh herbs will provide a more intense flavor profile and help balance the richness of the pecans and the sweetness of the apples. Tip 6: Add Moisture Gradually Adding too much moisture can result in a mushy and unappetizing stuffing. It is best to add the chicken broth or stock gradually, a little at a time, until the stuffing is just moist enough to hold together. Be sure to stir the ingredients well after each addition. Tip 7: Use a Muffin Pan Using a muffin pan is essential when making stuffing muffins. It will help each muffin hold its shape and ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed. Grease the muffin pan well before adding the stuffing mixture, and be sure to press the mixture down firmly to compact it. Tip 8: Serve Immediately Stuffing muffins are best served immediately after baking. The longer they sit, the more they will dry out and lose their texture. If you need to make them in advance, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving. Conclusion Apple and pecan stuffing muffins are a delicious and fun twist on classic stuffing. By following these valuable tips, you can create a memorable and flavorful side dish that your guests will love. Remember to choose the right bread and apples, incorporate vegetables, toast your pecans, use fresh herbs, add moisture gradually, use a muffin pan and serve immediately. With these tips, you will be well on your way to making perfect apple and pecan stuffing muffins every time.
