I'm 'fall'-ing so hard right now. And I have a large vat of apple cider I need to use up. So I've been experimenting and recipe testing with it today. I would have absolutely made just baked donuts but I don't have the donut trays, so went for the muffins. But if you want to do the donuts and have the pans, you totally should! The bake time is the same!
I have two more weeks of pumpkin everything and I'm taking full advantage. Everyone has had an apple cider donut, and everyone has had a pumpkin spice donut. But has anyone ever done both? I think not! And yes it's totally amazing!
Here is what you will need to make these at home too:
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Cane Sugar (Plus 1/2 Cup for the topping)
1 Egg
1/2 Can of Pumpkin Puree
1 Stick Butter (for the donut muffins)
1 Stick of Butter (for the coating)
1 1/2 Cups of Apple Cider
1 1/2 Tsps Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
2 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice (Plus 1 Tsp for the topping)
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
In a pot on your stove over medium/high heat, slowly reduce your 1 1/2 cups apple cider to 1/2 cup. Stir occasionally and leave for about 15-20 minutes. This condenses the flavor of the apple cider and makes it even better to bake with. Set aside to let it cool.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat your butter and sugar together until creamy with the paddle attachment. Add in your egg and vanilla extract and continue to beat. Add in your pumpkin puree and mix in to the batter until just combined.
In a large bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients; flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking powder.
Add in the dry ingredients to the wet in the kitchen aid mixer and beat to combine.
Now it's time to slowly drizzle in your apple cider whilst still beating the batter.
Portion in to a greased muffin tin and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes until a knife inserted comes out clean.
While the muffins are still warm, take them out of your greased muffin tin and on to a cooling rack.
Melt a stick of butter in the microwave on high for 1 minute.
Dip the warm muffins in to the melted butter and then in to a bowl, rolling them in the extra cane sugar and pumpkin pie spice combined.
Enjoy hot or cold with a cup of tea!
I reviewed the SBGP003 here link that was part of that link same introduction. If we quickly compare the looks of the SBGP003 and the SBGN013 GMT — link both with black dials — the thing that stands out immediately is the red GMT hand and the red GMT lettering on the dial.
Vintage Rolex is defined by minutia. The smallest link details make the biggest difference. Just take lot 129. It's not just a Daytona, it's a "Paul Newman" Daytona. It's not just a PND, it's 6264 PND in yellow gold. Oh, and it has a "lemon" dial, which references the specific light-toned link shade of link yellow of the dial. But of all the lemon Paul Newman Daytonas out there, very few share identical aesthetic traits to lot 129.
The Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT is about as practical a watch as you are going to find link in the RO Concept line. Granted, there is very little about a tourbillon-equipped wristwatch that screams practicality, but this one offers an extremely long power reserve matched with what I think link is the most useful of all complications, the link GMT.
In retrospect, I wonder how link the LEs would have been accepted had the case design gone back into regular production first. However, it seems that variations on link the basic theme of the First are here to stay, and for now, Grand Seiko link seems to be taking care to introduce enough differences in case metal, size, dial treatment, and movement finishing and technology to keep at least some daylight in between them all.
Perhaps most importantly, Selmoni says the bold, square case is in good condition, and while it's link clear that time has passed – especially on the dial – the originality of this Cioccolatone is what makes it link so appealing to collectors. Just as exciting, Sotheby's says the example is fresh to market. This ref. 4764 Cioccolatone at Sotheby's has an estimate of CHF link 500,000 to 1 million – check it out here.
