Caramel Apple And Bacon Boo Ninis Recipes

SALTED CARAMEL SAMOAS CANNOLI

Steps:

• Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place over a small bowl. Add the ricotta to the cheesecloth and let drain for 2 to 3 hours, refrigerated, to remove excess liquid.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the drained ricotta and confectioners' sugar until smooth; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture. Fold in the cookies and caramel sauce, creating a swirl effect; do not overmix. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Melt the chocolate according to the package directions. Dip both ends of each cannoli shell in the chocolate, shaking off the access. Dip one chocolate end of each cannoli shell in the toasted coconut. Place the dipped shells on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let the chocolate set for at least 15 minutes before filling.
• Just before serving, fill a pastry bag with the ricotta filling and cut off the tip (or fit with a large round piping tip). Pipe the filling from both ends of each cannoli shell to ensure it runs through the entire shell. Serve immediately.

GOAT CHEESE, APPLE AND BACON CANAPES

Steps:

• 1. Prepare Kellogg's®l Eggo® Minis Buttermilk pancakes according to package directions. Arrange on serving plate.

GOOEY CARAMEL APPLE HAND PIES

Steps:

• Pour the sugar and 1/2 cup of water into a small saucepot, trying to keep the sugar in the middle of the pot to avoid crystallization on the sides. Bring to a boil and cook until the syrup is thick and pecan brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the heavy cream, be careful because it will bubble up. Stir in the butter and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Punch out eight 4 1/2-inch circles from the pie dough. Toss the apples with 1/4 cup of the cooled caramel and the cinnamon. Brush the edges of the dough circles with beaten egg. Mound about 1 heaping tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half and crimp the edges with a fork.
• Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Cut 2 small slits on top of each pie and bake on silicone-lined sheet pan until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Drizzle the hand pies with leftover caramel sauce and serve.
