#AUTUMN ROSE CRAFTS PROFESSIONAL#

This yarn has been dyed using professional acid dyes. It has been hand dyed by myself, Claire Bentley at Cookston Crafts in Aberdeenshire. It is a gorgeous soft pink inspired by a delicate pink rose that was beginning to turn a rich tan colour in my garden. If your rose is very tight, you can use your fingers to unfurl the apple slice petals.Autumn Rose is a 75 % Superwash Merino / 25 % Nylon Double Knit yarn. It just barely needs pressed into the mix as it will puff up around the slices as it cooks and the cupcake tray will help it hold its form. Once you get to the end of the line, carefully pick it up and place in the center of the cupcake mix and gently press into place. The overlapping of the slices should make it roll continuously. Once you have a row laid out, start rolling from the left hand side. I find it best to use one or two of the smaller end apple slices at the beginning left hand side of the row and the larger middle slices as the row progresses to the right. The more slices, the fuller the rose will be but harder to roll. You will want about 7 or eight slices for each row. On a clean counter top, cutting board or piece of parchment paper, lay a row of apple slices overlapping one another, starting on the left and working to the right. Stir until the mix is uniformly moist.Īdd the shredded apples and fold into the batter until dispersed evenly in the mix. It will mix in quickly but will make the mix look gritty.Īdd the bowl of mixed dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Once the ingredients appear consistently throughout, add the buttermilk, stirring slowly at first so it doesn't slosh out of the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time while continuing to mix. Add the vanilla extract and the granulated and brown sugar. In a separate bowl stir the butter, making sure it is soft and smooth. Once pliable but not soggy, skip to Step Five: Apple Rose Prep Continued and then return to complete Step Four: Spice Apple Cupcake Mix, if necessary. The gratings may turn brown before adding in the batter, but it is nothing to worry about.ĭon't forget to keep checking on the cooking apple slices. I squeezed the juice into the pot of apple slices still cooking on the stove. Squeeze the juice out of the apple gratings and set aside. Grate the apples on the large grater until you reach the core. I choose to peel only half of the apples. You can peel all or none of the apples before grating.

Select at least four apples, wash and remove stickers.

*Optional- Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to make the cupcakes less dense and more fluffy. *Optional- I have never owned one, but I would imagine a mandolin slicer could also make quick and consistent slices.Ĭombine the following dry ingredients in a bowl, lightly mix and set aside: However, the core/peel/slicer is great if you are in a time crunch. I personally prefer to hand slice because you can make the slices thinner making them easier to work with.

You will want to disengage the part that removes the skin since you want it intact. *Optional-You can also use an apple core/peel/slicer. Move onto Step Four: Spices Apple Cupcake Mix, while the apple slices are heating up and cooking. Caution: Be careful not to overcook the apples to where they turn to mush. Once all the apples have been sliced place the pot on the stove and cook on medium heat until the slices are pliable. Add the slices to the pot at the end of each apple half to help prevent browning of the flesh. Place the apple flat side down and thinly slice the apple all the way across. Cut the apples in half (as if you were going to slice it up for a snack) and remove the core. I used 2 Gala, 2 Fuji, and 1 mystery apple simply because it was a gorgeous red color. 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperatureģ/4 cup reduced fat buttermilk, at room temperatureģ cups shredded apples, liquid squeezed outġ package of cream cheese (8oz), at room temperatureĥ-6 medium apples, halved, cored and sliced thinĢ4 cupcake paper liners (you can also use butter if you prefer)Īdd the sugar and the cranberry juice into a large pot and set aside.
