Apple Butter Rolls With Honey Marzipan Frosting Recipes

EASY APPLE BUTTER ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
• 2. Unroll thawed pastry dough on a floured surface. Spread apple butter to edges of puff pastry. Starting at side closest to you, roll dough jelly roll style.
• 3. If desired, add 1 tsp water to whisked egg to make an egg wash. Brush on rolled dough. Cut rolled dough into 1 inch slices (you should get about 10 slices) and place cut side down on prepared pan leaving about 2 inches between each slice.
• 4. Bake in preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until dough is flaky and golden.
• 5. Combine powdered sugar and apple cider in a small bowl; stirring until smooth. Drizzle on warm rolls.

MINI MARZIPAN TREATS

Steps:

• Roll out the marzipan until 3/4 inch thick, using confectioners' sugar to dust the work surface and rolling pin to avoid sticking. Cut into rectangles, about 1 1/2 by 3 inches each, or cut into other shapes.
• Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth. Set a rack on a sheet of parchment paper or on a baking sheet. Using two forks, dip each piece of marzipan in the chocolate to cover completely. Transfer to the rack and decorate with pistachios and dried rose petals. Allow to set until firm, about 30 minutes.
• In a food processor, blend the nuts until they're finely ground and just starting to clump together (but don't over-blend them or you'll end up with nut butter). Add the confectioners' sugar, extract, rosewater (if using) and salt; pulse to combine.
• With the motor running, drizzle in the corn syrup and blend to form a dough. It may still look crumbly in the food processor, but if you squeeze it in your hand, it should stick together. (You may find that you don't need all of the corn syrup.) Form the marzipan into a ball or log and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap until ready to use. Store in the refrigerator.
