Caramel Apple Fantans

Sorry I was MIA last week, things have been a little crazy in my work world and I had a small surgery that turned out to be a bigger deal than anticipated. However, I am thankful for the time to rest and for my health. Now, there has been just a little bit cooler weather in the mornings so I am of course thinking of Fall and getting an itch to transition to a new season. Here is a Fall inspired recipe from Southern Living and requested by Super Man.

Caramel Apple Fantans


Here's the recipe 


Start by making your dough 



Mix in eggs


Next few ingredients


Wheat flour...I love this stuff


Mix


Time to knead


For a good 6 to 8 min



Then lightly spray a bowl so it can rise



Next get the filling ready




Chop the apples


Sauté filling




Next assemble... I enjoyed the pictures showing how to... cause this could be tricky.




Add a little butter





Starting to smell good


Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on the goodness.




Next start to cut and layer






Seriously?! At this point Super Man is doing the food dance around the kitchen.


Load into tins



Time to go in the oven


All done


While they cool... cook the caramel glaze




Oozy goodness


All done




Here is how the magazine shows them



And mine...Beauty shot


Yummo! Superman loved them and they called for pecans but I was out so I am sure that would be a great addition.


Have a great Monday!!
