Crazy For Crust - http://www.crazyforcrust.com/2014/10/apple-cider-cinnamon-rolls/?mbid=nl_fig_09292015_Daily&CNDID=35824472
FOR THE DOUGH
1 package active dry yeast
(about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
3/4 cup apple cider
(heated to about 110-120°F, about 30-45 seconds in the microwave)
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted
butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3 - 3 1/4 cups all-purpose
flour, plus more for dusting
Paddle attachment &
dough hook for your mixer
FOR THE FILLING:
5 tablespoons butter,
softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 heaping cup (about 1
medium) peeled, cored, and diced apple
1/2 cup chopped pecans or
walnuts, optional
FOR THE FROSTING
2 tablespoons butter,
melted
3 tablespoons cream
cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
3-4 tablespoons apple
cider
MAKE THE DOUGH:
- Place apple cider in a microwave safe measuring cup. Heat for about seconds in the microwave, until it’s about 110-120°F. (The time you heat it will need to be adjusted depending on your microwave. You can use a candy or a meat thermometer to test the temperature. Also, think very hot bathwater.) Add yeast and stir. Let it sit for a few minutes.
- Place sugar, butter, salt, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until the butter is distributed throughout the liquids, although it may be chunky. Pour in the cider/yeast mixture and stir for a few seconds.
- Add 3 cups of flour and stir with the paddle attachment just until the mixture starts to stick to the paddle. Then replace the paddle with the dough hook. Continue mixing on low speed until the dough forms a ball in the center of the bowl. If dough is still very sticky, you can add an additional 1/4 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough ball in it. Spray the top of the dough ball with cooking spray (lightly) and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let sit for 1-3 hours until it doubles in size. Note on rising: if your house is warm, it should rise no problem. If it’s cold in your house, it may take longer for the dough to rise.
- Stir together butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour until it forms a paste.
- Once the dough is risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 10” by 14”. Spread the filling as evenly as possible over the rectangle, making sure to reach to the sides so the outer rolls have enough filling. Sprinkle with the chopped apple and nuts (if using). (See note)
- Roll the dough up tightly from the long end. Decide how many rolls you want. You can make 8 big rolls, 9 medium, or 12 small. (8 rolls: 8x12” pan, 9 rolls: 9” pan or 9 1/2” round pie plate, 12 rolls: 9x13” pan.) Place the rolls into a pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and let them warm up to room temperature while the oven is preheating. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 23-28 minutes, or until they are golden brown. (Baking time depends on size of rolls as well. My 8 rolls took 27 minutes in my oven.)
- Whisk the melted butter and softened cream cheese until mostly smooth. If your cream cheese is too stiff, you can use a hand mixer. Whisk/beat in powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons apple cider. Add more cider as you want for consistency. Pour over warm rolls and serve.

divided
salt & pepper
3 T. apple cider vinegar
1 T. whole grain mustard
2 t. dark brown sugar

½ c. hazelnuts, toasted
and roughly chopped
2 apples, cut into about
1/2-inch cubes
2 quarts of salad greens
(lettuce, kale, spinach, etc)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees f. Once the oven is preheated, add a large, empty baking sheet to the oven to heat up for 10 minutes prior to adding the squash to the pan. In a large bowl, toss the cubed squash with 2 T. canola oil and salt & pepper. Working quickly, add the butternut squash to the hot baking sheet, redistribute into an even layer. Bake until tender and slightly browned, 25-30 minutes, rotating the baking sheet front to back after 15 minutes. Remove pan from the oven, let the squash cool while preparing the rest of the salad.

Slowly add in the remaining 1/2 c. canola oil, whisking thoroughly until emulsified. Add a couple of spoonfuls of the dressing to the diced apples to keep them from turning brown.
- In a large bowl, toss the salad greens and just enough dressing to lightly coat the greens. Add in half the squash, apples and hazelnuts, toss gently
- Add the salad to a large platter. Scatter the remaining squash, apples & hazelnuts over the top of the salad, drizzle with a little more dressing. Serve, passing the remaining dressing at the table. (This salad tastes best served at room temperature.)

Leek Risotto
4-5 cups vegetable stock
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 small leeks, halved and
thinly sliced
1 shallot, minced
1 cup carnaroli rice
1 cup white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted
butter
¼ cup freshly grated
Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream,
whipped to soft peaks
Kosher salt, to taste
Minced chives, for garnish
- Place the stock on a low simmer in a stockpot and keep a ladle nearby. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a deep, heavy sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until translucent; do not let them brown. Add the leeks and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the leeks have softened. Stir in the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the wine and let it simmer until the liquid is absorbed, and continue scraping the pan so that the rice doesn’t stick. Season the rice with salt, then begin adding stock a ladle at a time, stirring often, and allowing most of the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. The rice is cooked once the grains are al dente, fully cooked but with a soft bite on the inside.
- Turn off the heat and vigorously beat in the butter and cheese with a wooden spoon to help it emulsify with the rice. If you prefer not to do this on the stove, move the pan to a towel on the counter. Whatever you do, don’t hesitate. Really shake the pan back and forth with one hand while stirring with the other.
- Add the whipped cream, then season with salt, only if needed. Continue stirring with abandon until all the ingredients have been incorporated. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and chives.
