Recipe Review: Fuji Fritters

So for my first review I was doubting what to do and after much debate I chose this recipe fro two reasons. The first is because my daughter needed something to take to school for teacher appreciation and the first day is apples, The second reason is because I have never made a fritter. It was so easy and will be making these again.

Before Baking

Fuji Fritters.

Makes 12

For Apple mixture

3 Cups fuji apples, peeled and cubed

3 tbsp splenda

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

For Fritter Base

1 1/3 cup regular oats ( not instant)

2/3 cup Bisquick Heart Smart Baking mix

2/3 cup vanilla soy milk

2 tbsp brown sugar not packed

1 1/2 tbsp butter

1 tsp baking powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 400

Place apples chunks in a medium microwave safe bowl with 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave for two and half minutes. Drain and set aside

In a medium unheated pot, combine splenda, cinnamon, vanilla, and cornstarch with 1/2 cup cold water. Cook over medium heat, stir occasionally. Continue to cook and stir until thickened to a caramel sauce like consistency. Remove pot from heat and stir in apple chunks.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients for fritter base until mixed well. Fold apples into the fritter base.

Spray two large baking sheets with nonstick spray. Evenly distribute batter into twelve mounds. They will expand.

Bake for 10-15 minutes(I did 13) minutes until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.

My Thoughts





I did not have any oats in the house and was not going out with 2 kids in a storm so I used bisquick for the whole recipe. I feel that they came out wonderful. I am not a big fan of apples so it was hard for me to truly like but my kids love them.Hopefully her teacher likes them.



My rating 4. 2/ 5



Let me know what you think

Apple Stredual Pie!!

So after making two batches of applesauce I had 2 apples left and decided that I need to make a pie!! So at 9 pm tonight I made a pie.

For the crust I used a refrigerated crust since I have extra one.

For the the filling

I used 2 apples peeled and sliced thin.
1tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter

Melt the butter and combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside

For Topping
2tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour

Combine the flour and sugar. Add the melted butter until it crumbles. Add to pie.

Bake pie at 425 for 10 minutes. During this time make a foil ring for the crust. Once done bump the temperature down to 350 and bake for 30 more minutes.

Let cool. I am not a big fan of apple pie but I fell in love with this. Also, this recipe was taken from several recipes and I made it my own.

Applesauce

So lately my kids have been goign thru jar of applesauce and it starting to get to expensive. So instead I decided to make homemade applesauce from apples. It was very simple and I was able to make it in my crockpot. I did make it two ways. The first batch was not so good becasue my kids don't like cinnamon. I also halved the recipe becasue I wanted to make sure they liekd it first.

Here is the recipe for the cinnamon version with splenda
4 apples, peeled and quartered
1/2 water
1/4 cup splenda
1 tsp cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a small slow cooker and Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6

The second recipe came out much better
4 apples, peeled and quartered
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar

Combine all ingredients in a small slow cooker. Cook on High for 3 hour or on low for 6.

To make bigger batch of applesauce double the amount.

I will be going to the store later in the week to make a bigger batch for friends.
