Cider Butter Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Make sauce:
• Heat sugar in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring with a fork to heat sugar evenly, until it starts to melt, then stop stirring and cook, swirling skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is dark amber. Stir in butter, water, rum, vinegar, and a pinch of salt (caramel will harden and steam vigorously) and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel has dissolved. Add cream and bring to a boil, stirring, then remove from heat. Cool to warm.
• Make beignets:
• Preheat oven to 250°F with rack in middle. Set a cooling rack in a large shallow baking pan.
• Heat 2 inches oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, peel apples and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut out core with cutter, then pat apple rings dry.
• Put 1 1/4 cups flour in a large shallow bowl and make a well in center. Beat egg in a small bowl with a fork, then stir in cider and 1 tablespoon oil and pour into well. Stir with fork until a lumpy batter forms.
• Working in batches of 3 or 4, dredge apple rings in remaining 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess, then dip in batter to coat, letting excess drip off, and fry, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes total per batch. Transfer to rack and keep warm in oven. Return oil to 375°F between batches.
• Just before serving, dust warm beignets with confectioners sugar. Stir sauce, then serve on the side.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan add the cider, bring to a boil and simmer until reduced to 2/3 cup. Remove from heat.
• Swirl in the butter, and add lemon juice and Calvados. Serve with crepes.

Steps:

• Mix sugar, corn starch, cinnamom and nut meg.
• In sauce pan cook cider and lemon juice until boiling.
• Add dry ingredients.
• Boil and stir 2 minutes until thick.
• Remove from heat and stir in butter.
• Stir until melted.

Steps:

• Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Peel and core the apples and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Pat apple rings dry.
• In a large, shallow bowl, put 1 1/4 cups of flour and make a well in the center. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork, stir in the cider and 1 tablespoon oil, and pour into the well. Stir in a circular motion with the fork slowly incorporating flour, and stir until a lumpy batter forms.
• Over medium-high heat, heat 2 inches of oil in a 5 to 6-quart heavy pot to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie plate with paper towels.
• Working in batches of 3, dredge the apple rings in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess, and then dip in the batter to coat, letting the excess drip off, and fry, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes total per batch. Lay the beignets on the plate and allow the paper towel to absorb excess oil. Transfer to a cookie sheet and keep warm in the oven. Return the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.
• Just before serving, dust the warm beignets with confectioners' sugar. Make sure the Butter Bourbon Dipping Sauce is warm, and serve on the side.
• In a large, heavy skillet, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring with a fork until it begins to melt. Once it is melting, stop stirring and cook, swirling the skillet occasionally so the sugar melts evenly. Cook until it is dark amber in color, and then remove from the heat. Put an oven mitt on the hand you will be using to stir in the ingredients and stand back to avoid splattering. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the butter, water, bourbon, vinegar, and salt and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel has dissolved. Add the cream and bring to a boil and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, and then remove from heat. Allow to cool down.;

Steps:

• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with a sharp knife into a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan. Quarter apples (do not peel or core) and add to vanilla seeds along with pod and remaining ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, 1 hour.
• Pour sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a blender (do not press on solids) and blend until emulsified (use caution when blending hot liquids). Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the cider, sugar and pepper to bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the bourbon. Correct the seasoning, adding salt, to taste.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whisk in flour and stir until combined and the flour loses its raw smell, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, oregano, basil, and parsley, and bring to a simmer, 3 to 5 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until thick, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a sauce pan, blend the sugar and corn starch and whisk in the apple cider.
• Bring the mixture to boil while whisking constantly.
• Add the raisins and reduce the heat to simmer.
• Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, milk, heavy cream, whole eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, spices and salt. Set aside.
• Toss the cubed bread with the melted butter in a large mixing bowl. Add in the apples. Pour egg mixture over and gently stir to coat.
• Pour into a 9" x 13" baking dish or 10" - 12" round baking dish that has been lightly greased. Allow to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes (or up to 3 hours). Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until everything is set and lightly beginning to brown. I loosely cover mine with foil for the first 15 minute of baking.
• To make the sauce, melt 1 stick of butter in a medium sauce pan set to medium-low heat. Add in the confectioner's sugar and apple cider. Heat - stirring continuously - until sauce is smooth and the sugar is completely dissolved. Once smooth, additional confectioner's sugar or apple cider can be added, as needed, if your sauce is too thin or thick for your preference.
• While bread pudding is still warm (about 15 minutes after removing from oven), drizzle half of the sauce over the top. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.
• NOTE: I've found that the leftovers are best if used up by the following day. After that, the bread pudding can get quite soggy. I have reheated individual pieces on a foil-lined baking sheet in a 350 degree oven for about 10 - 15 minutes. This will crisp the pieces up a bit. Also, if you have sauce leftover, it can be stored in the fridge. It will harden, but can be reheated until it returns to a pourable consistency.
