Roll into logs*

A fav for cinnamon donuts is...

Roll into ligs, fold in half and twist.

225g (9oz)  Strong White Bread Flour
½ tsp Salt
15g (½oz) Butter, melted
1 sachet  Easy Bake Yeast
125ml (4floz) Water, lukewarm
1 Egg

1. Place all the ingredients into a large bowl, mix and then knead for 10 minutes (or knead for 5 minutes in a machine with a dough hook attached).

2. Cut the dough into 8 and shape into balls. Leave to prove until double in size on a greased tray.

3. Heat the oil in a pan to a medium heat (140°C) and deep fry the donuts until golden brown, drain and toss in sugar.

Or, roll into logs and make a ring shape.

You can either add cinnamon to the batter...or sprinkle with a cinnamon sugar mix.

If you cant find them you can dry them at home yourself.

Just dice the apple up into the size you want and spread on a baking tray.  If you want them not to brown ( as apples do) sprinkle with lemon juice in a bowl and mix well.  The browning wont hurt them.

Bake on low heat ( apx 100 ) for a few hours until they are dry-ish.  They should be flexible , or slightly rubbery if diced.  No juices should drip out.  Very much like dried apricots.

Ah ok then.

Thanks again Nibs. I shall let you know how they go lol.

Yup.....you would find them were ever they have the other dried fruit.

They could have a display with the fresh fruit and veg...along with packets of nut mixes etc...or in the baking isle, with raisins, cherries etc.

In ASDA...they have them in both sections...lol.

Dry apples? Can you buy them from sainsburys? Lol. I'm guessing they'd be with the dried apricots and things if they do.

If you used the same one...but with no oatmeal, you would have had too much wet and not enough dry.  Adding fresh apples to it would have made it even more wet.

Thats why I suggest using dry apples....so as not to upset the balance as much as fresh would.

No probs hun.

Im a cookie baker myself.....At least  alot of the traditional American styles that are done at Christmas time.

That recipie is basically what i used without the oatmeal and raisins lol. So oatmeal will just maksure that they set then?

Thanks Nibs.

Or this one, which is a  more traditional recipe....just add dried apples and cinnamon, you can drop the raisins if you like.

• 85 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 115 g light muscovado sugar ( which is brown sugar)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 115 g self-raising flour
• 55 g medium oatmeal
• 170 g raisins

1.   Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF, gas mark 4). Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, then gradually beat in the egg. Sift in the flour, then fold it in with the oatmeal and raisins.
2.   Drop heaped teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto 3 greased baking sheets, leaving enough space around each cookie to allow it to spread during baking.
3.   Bake for 10–15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. These cookies can be kept in an airtight container for 3–4 days.

Ooooh thanks. Will have to get honey and things when i go shopping tomorrow and try again lol..

Thank you.

If you want to make an apple cinnamon cookie, I would suggest using an oatmeal cookie recipe and adding dried apples and cinnamon.

Fresh apples would make it too wet and your cookies wouldn't set.
