Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Honeycrisp apples
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1/4 cup grape jelly
1 slice white bread, toasted and finely chopped
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the apples and filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Halve the apples across the equator. Scoop out the core of the apples, leaving a well in the center. Level the bottoms of the apples if needed.
  • In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, yogurt, peanuts and agave. Fill the apple halves evenly and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the filling is set and the apples are slightly tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • For the topping: Add the jelly to a small bowl, then add a few drops of hot water at a time to loosen it, stirring, until you reach a syrup consistency.
  • Sprinkle the toast pieces over the top of the apples, drizzle the jelly syrup on top and sprinkle lightly with salt.

SUNNY'S HOLIDAY PB AND J THUMBPRINTS



Sunny's Holiday PB and J Thumbprints image

To give her cookies holiday sparkle, Sunny Anderson rolls them in turbinado sugar, a large-grained sugar with a mild molasses flavor. As the cookies cool, the sugar forms a crisp crackly outer layer on the cookie, too.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 3h45m

Yield 36 thumbprints

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup), room temperature
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup turbinado or raw cane sugar (recommended: Sugar in the Raw)
1/3 cup strawberry preserves

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar, and blend on medium-high speed until creamy. Turn off the mixer and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl, pushing everything back towards the center. Then add the salt, vanilla and egg, and blend until combined. Lower the speed of the mixer and add the flour in 1/2-cup intervals. Between each addition be sure to completely blend in all the flour and scrape the sides as before. Once completely combined, scrape the dough out of the mixer, add to a container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and, using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll into a ball between your hands. Then roll the formed ball in the turbinado sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat for the rest of the balls, making sure to separate them on the sheet by about 1 inch. Try chopping roasted peanuts and adding them to the sugar before rolling out all the balls or add a drop of food coloring to the sugar to make the cookies even more festive!
  • Once all the balls are on the baking sheet, make an indentation in the center of each using the rounded end of a wooden spoon, the back of a rounded teaspoon or your good old-fashioned thumb. Fill the center of each with about 1/2 teaspoon strawberry preserves. Bake until lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let cool before serving.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 sleeves (28 crackers) butter crackers
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam, lightly whisked to loosen

Steps:

  • Make the crust. Spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, allowing the parchment to overhang the edges of the pan. Spray again and set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse the crackers, brown sugar and butter until combined and it resembles wet sand. Remove and press into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Make the PB layer: In a stand mixer or with a hand-held mixer, beat the peanut butter, brown sugar and butter in a bowl until smooth. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the bottom layer.
  • Add the jelly swirl. Drop about 9 dollops of the jam around the pan. Use a skewer or butter knife and drag it through the jam and peanut butter to make swirls.
  • Bake until set, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely, then remove from the pan and cut into bars the size of your choosing.
