APPLE PIE ROLL UPS

APPLE PIE ROLL UPS
Makes 12 roll ups
I may never make a normal apple pie again. These are quick fun to make and quite scrummy! I served them with custard of course!
3 1/2 ounces caster sugar (1/2 cup)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1 320g package of ready rolled all butter shortcrust (in North America,
use a 14 ounce package of refrigerated pie crust)
3 TBS melted butter
2 medium tart apples, peeled and cut into 6 wedges each
Preheat the oven to 230*C/425*F/ gas mark 7. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Set aside.
Whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl. Set aside.
Unroll the pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Brush with 2 TBS of the melted butter. Sprinkle with all but 1 TBS of the cinnamon sugar. (reserve for a few minutes) Cut the sheet into 12 inch strips along the long side. Lay a wedge of apple on the short end of each pastry strip and roll them up, with the sugared side of the pastry against the apple. Place them onto the lined baking sheet. Brush with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar evenly over top.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Serve warm, with or without custard. Delicious!

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAKE FLOUR AND ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAKE FLOUR AND ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
All-purpose flour is, well, an all-around good flour to use for baking breads, cakes, muffins, and for mixing up a batch of pancake batter.
All-purpose has protein content of 10-13% and it will perform very well, time after time. But if you want to make really soft cake layers, reach for cake flour.
CAKE FLOUR
Cake flour has 8-9% protein, making it the weakest flour on the shelf, and it bakes up into meltingly tender cake layers. Continue reading
