RECIPE — What Is This, A Sad Attempt At Making Something Remotely Interesting With Applesauce?
Without ice cream, there would be darkness and chaos. — Don Kardong
Oh, applesauce puffs, a sad excuse for a baked treat if I’ve ever seen one. However, if you’re determined to salvage this sorry excuse for a dessert, here’s what you’ll need to do.
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease 30 mini muffin cups. Then, in a bowl, mix together 2 cups of baking mix, 1/2 cup of applesauce, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven until they turn a slightly less disappointing shade of golden, which should take about 12 to 15 minutes.
While those poor excuses for puffs are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a shallow bowl, and combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a second shallow bowl. Once the puffs are done, dip the sorry things in the melted butter, then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Now, try to choke down these puffs masquerading as a dessert, and if you’re still looking for a way to make it palatable, pair them with a glass of a fruity Riesling from Dr. Loosen. The sweetness of the wine might just mask the disappointment of these so-called puffs. Cheers to making the best of a bad situation!
