There is a certain kind, though, that I love the most. My favorite – a dollop of light frosting that melts in your mouth with just the right amount of sweetness, like a fluffy cloud from dessert heaven. That’s Whipped Cream Frosting for you!

Crock Pot Baked Apples

By Kleinworth & Co 5 Comments

Need a perfect fall recipe? Crock Pot Baked Apples are simple, delicious & packed full of all that great fall flavor you love. Apples, cinnamon & caramel.

Fall is in the air and that means it’s time to enjoy all of the delicious fruits and vegetables that nature has to offer. Today, I’m going to show you how to make a simple recipe for Crock Pot Baked Apples.

This recipe is perfect for a quick snack or a light dessert. So, let’s get slow cooking!

Are you excited about fall? Here in North Idaho, we had a week of ’90s like summer’s last whopper. Then a cold front came on in & we have been in the ’60s & ’70s. Fall blasted on in here & it’s been so lovely.

However, I hope these 70’s stick around for a while. I love the time when the weather is just perfect in the day where I can leave the windows open & let the breeze come on through without being too hot or cold.

But these chilly nights have me in full fall mode when it comes to food. The crock pot is making an appearance more times through the week & the smells drifting through here are wonderful.

Things like these baked apples in the crock pot just make me happy. All that cinnamon & caramel mixed with apples – wow! It’s no wonder this is my favorite season.

I can’t wait to show you all the glorious sights around here this time of year. That will come soon. But for now- I’m sharing my favorite flavors.

Here are some commonly asked questions

What kind of apples should I use for baked apples?

Well- we didn’t pick the types of trees that were planted on our property. That was decided by the first owners and we are the lucky recipients. So I have no idea what types we have here. I’m just using what I have and it’s working just fine.

However – since I’m sure most of you will be buying your apples at the store – here are some suggestions.

When you are making baked apples, there are different kinds of apples that work best. Some apples have a higher water content, so they aren’t the best for this recipe because they will fall apart faster than others.

When picking an apple to bake, you want to focus on ones that are sweeter since this will be a dessert. I like to use Fiji apples for this recipe. You can also use Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious.

How to store Crock Pot Baked Apples

Once you have made your delicious Crock Pot Baked Apples, you will want to know how to store them so they will be just as fresh when you are ready to eat them again.

The good news is that these apples can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to two months.

I used this Crock Pot Dulce de Leche to drizzle on these apples!

Ingredients for Crock Pot Baked Apples

all-purpose flour
brown sugar
oats
granulated sugar
butter – chilled & cubed
cinnamon
salt
apples

Apple Equivalents & Measures – rough estimates

1 bushel of apples is the dry equivalent to 2 gallons of produce
2 large apples = 1 pound
3-4 medium apples = 1 pound
3 cups cored, sliced or chopped apples = 1 pound
1-1/3 cups applesauce = 1 pound apples
1 pound dried apples = 8 cups cooked apples
1 pound dried apples = 4 1/3 cups
4 pounds fresh apples = 1 pound dried apples
4 pounds fresh apples = 4 cups applesauce
1/2 cup mashed apples = 1 medium apple
3/4 cup cored, chopped apples = 1 medium apple
1 cup cored, sliced apples = 1 medium apple
2 pounds fresh apples = filling for ONE 9″ pie
Small apples are approx 2 1/4 inches in diameter.
Medium apples are approx 2 3/4 inches in diameter.
Large apples are approx 3 3/4 inches in diameter.

How to Make Crock Pot Baked Apples

In a medium bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, granulated sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter (or with your hands) work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly, then set aside.
Wash the apples & cut off the tops.
Spoon out some of the core & the inner flesh to make a “bowl”.
Fill each hollow apple with the crumble mixture & then place them inside the cooker insert.
Cover & cook for 2-2.5 hours – just enough that the apples soften but are not falling apart.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top (I like to add some caramel drizzle too)

How long do Crock Pot Baked Apples last?

Crock Pot Baked Apples will last for up to a week in the fridge or up to two months in the freezer.

How to make Baked Apples in the air fryer

These (apples or peaches) can be made in the air fryer too! Just cook at 350 for 5 minutes. Then sprinkle on the toppings. Cook for another 5 minutes or until tender.

Can I use this recipe to make baked peaches instead?

Yep! This also works with peaches – sprinkle with a pinch of crushed graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar. Cook on low for the same amount of time.

It’s really all the sweet goodness of a rich caramel apple crisp – in a neat little apple bowl.

The perfect fall treat for sure.

What slow cooker do you use?

We actually have several slow cookers that we have acquired over the years from doing this job. I have a smaller one that is great for half recipes.

But the one I use the most is this standard, no-frills slow cooker that is perfect for this particular recipe.

Caramel Macchiato Cinnamon Rolls

By Kleinworth & Co 7 Comments

Caramel Macchiato Cinnamon Rolls are perfect for fall mornings. Cinnamon, caramel & frosting- what could be better with your coffee? With this no-rise recipe, homemade cinnamon rolls just became easier than ever too.

You all know how much I cherish my morning coffee time. I actually go to bed looking forward to my morning cup, especially in the fall when I can get great creamer flavors like Pumpkin Spice & one of my favorites, Caramel Macchiato.

Something about caramel when it’s chilly outside just makes me feel all warm & cozy. So of course I like to add that great flavor to as many things as I can – like these homemade cinnamon rolls.

coffee cinnamon roll recipe

I love making little goodies to have with our coffee on the weekends. Most mornings it’s just coffee while we get straight to work- even on the weekends.

However there are some weekends where we have a few moments of peace where we can sip alongside a tasty little goodie. Those are the mornings I cherish most, which is why I made this super simple no-rise recipe for cinnamon rolls.

I don’t have a whole lot of time & I certainly have very little patience when it comes to making treats. I like it quick, simple & delicious whenever possible. So I’m so in love with this recipe – I don’t know why it was buried in my recipe cabinet. I tucked it away & completely forgot about it.

Once in a while I would remember & think “gee, I should make those” & then life & schedules took over & it never really happened. Until I was organizing & found it. I immediately got to making them. I didn’t want to forget again. The hubs was sure happy & we had a lovely coffee time this weekend.

Just a little bit of this Caramel Macchiato creamer & it takes these cinnamon rolls to whole new level of delicious.

You absolutely must give them a try!!! They will be your new favorite too.

Cannoli Sugar Cookie Cups

By Kleinworth & Co 17 Comments

Simple & delicious go to a whole new level with these Cannoli Sugar Cookie Cups. Easy sugar cookie cups topped with cannoli filling & chocolate chips. YUM!

Do you love a good pastry? I sure do. Whenever we can stop in a little specialty pastry shop I always get a variety of goodies to take home & enjoy over a couple of days.

I especially love it when I can get there on a Friday so that I have treats to have along with my coffee over the weekend while we read the paper.

Those seem to be the best weekends when we have little on the calendar & we can just snack, sip & read until lunchtime. Sigh…… that doesn’t happen all that often. Guess that’s why I love & cherish it so much.

So since we don’t get to do that all that often, I decided to create a little cannoli-like treat to have one weekend.

mini cannoli cups

These are a sugar cookie cup, topped with cannoli filling & sprinkled with extra mini chocolate chips & confectioners sugar. Oh my word – so delicious.

So if you love a good cannoli & sugar cookies, you have to give this twist a try.

You will be so happy you did!

cannoli cups

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the best way to store leftover cannoli sugar cookie cups?

The key here is that once they are assembled, you need to enjoy them right away. You can keep the filling separately in the refrigerator in an airtight container for several days. Just give it a good stir before using again.

For the cookies, place them in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 4 days

HOW DO YOU MAKE CANNOLI SUGAR COOKIE CUPS?

Cookies

In a small bowl whisk together the flour and baking powder – set aside.
In a large mixer bowl, beat the butter until soft.
Add the sugar and mix well.
Add the egg and vanilla – mix again just until incorporated.
Slowly add the flour/baking powder mixture and stir until the dough begins to pull together.
Roll the dough into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap- refrigerate for 1 hour.
Once the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Pull off pieces of dough and roll it into balls. Then press into the wells of a greased muffin tin pan making the cup shape.
Bake for 12-15 minutes and allow to cool in the pan before removing.
To remove, slide a butter knife along the inside- they should pop right out.

Filling

Whisk the ricotta in a large bowl until smooth.
Stir in the confectioner’s sugar and vanilla and whisk until combined.
Fold in the whipped topping and chocolate chips.
Do not assemble until ready to serve as the filling will start to soften the cookie cup.
Once ready to serve spoon about a tablespoon of your filling into the cookie cup.
Dust with confectioner’s sugar and add a couple more mini chocolate chips to the top.

cannoli cookie

Can these cookies be made ahead of time?

You bet. This cookie dough can be made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days prior to baking. Make sure to cover tightly with plastic wrap so it doesn’t dry out. Let it sit out at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before rolling and baking.

Ingredients for Cannoli Sugar Cookie Cups

Sugar Cookie Cups

all-purpose flour -spooned and leveled- not scooped
baking powder
butter
granulated sugar
egg
vanilla extract

Filling

ricotta cheese
whipped topping
confectioners sugar
vanilla extract
mini chocolate chips
confectioner’s sugar for dusting

Do I really need to chill the dough?

Yes, Yes, Yes! Chilling the dough is important for a couple of reasons. First – while the dough is chilling the ingredients are coming together. It gives a better overall flavor to the cookie.

The second and probably even more important than the first – is that chilling helps the dough hold together during the baking process.

Without chilling, the dough would not only be too sticky to really roll it into balls. But it would also spread way too much while baking – leaving flat and not very appealing cookies in the end. Please don’t skip the chilling process.
