Rosie Makes Apple And Cinnamon Filled Pastries.


I'm in the mood for something sweet.
And these apple and cinnamon filled pastries hit the spot.





 Apple Cinnamon Filled Pastries

Dough:
1 package yeast
1 tsp sugar
4 oz. warm water
6 TB sugar
1/4 cup Crisco
1 egg, beaten
 4 oz. warm evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
1 cup apple filling
1 tsp cinnamon

Apple Filling
4 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 TB lemon juice
1 TB water

Cook over low heat until you have applesauce.

Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar
3 TB cream or milk
1 tsp vanilla

Preparation
For the dough:
Sprinkle yeast and the teaspoon of sugar over warm water.  Mix to stir and let proof.
In a processor, cream sugar and shortening.  Add egg, vanilla, evaporated milk, and yeast mixture.
Switch to dough hook and add the flour, salt, and nutmeg.  Knead about 7 minutes.
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface and roll into a sheet about 1/2 inch thick.
Spread apple filling evenly over top.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Slice dough into 16 equal squares.  Mold into balls, tucking in the bottoms to seal in the filling.
Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.  Cover and let rise until doubled.

Heat vegetable shortening, not oil, to 375°.  Carefully place 2-3 balls into hot oil.  Do not crowd the pain. Cook about 1 - 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden, then turn over and cook a minute more, until golden brown. Place on rack to drain.  Drizzle with icing.



Dough has risen.

Drop onto lightly floured surface.

Roll out 1/2 thick.
Evenly spread apple and sprinkle cinnamon over top.


Cut into 16 squares.

Tuck and pinch bottoms to seal.



Let rise, covered.


I had a small pan, so I'm doing only one at a time.




And drizzle.



My house smells like a bakery.







Enjoy!
