Steps for making Apple Fritter Pops
- For the sweet spiced yeast dough: Combine the water, yeast and 2 teaspoons of the sugar in a small bowl and set aside until foamy. Add the activated yeast mixture and 1/4 cup of the flour in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute. Switch to the dough hook attachment and add in another 1/4 cup of flour. Once incorporated, add the shortening in small amounts followed by the egg, vanilla and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Continue mixing the dough on low and add in the salt, baking powder, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg and the remaining 1 cup flour. Mix the dough on low speed for about 2 minutes, then on the second-lowest speed for 4 minutes.
- For the apple filling: Combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, bread flour, dried ginger, fresh ginger and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the apples appear somewhat translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add in the lemon juice, then refrigerate until cold.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 365 degrees F.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Roll the dough out to a 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut 20 circles out of the dough. Dollop a tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each. Cup the circle to enclose the filling and pinch off excess dough. The result should be a small ball of dough with the filling sealed inside. Fry the fritters in the hot oil in 4 batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes, then remove from the oil and toss in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Warm up the speculoos in a small saucepan and transfer to a pastry bag. Place each fritter on a lollipop stick and drizzle the warm speculoos over the top.

- Fruit – In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering.Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world’s agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.In common language usage, “fruit” normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term “fruit” also includes many structures that are not commonly called “fruits”, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.

- Dessert – Dessert (/dɪˈzɜːrt/) is a course that concludes a meal. The course consists of sweet foods, such as confections, and possibly a beverage such as dessert wine and liqueur. In some parts of the world, such as much of Central Africa and West Africa, and most parts of China, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal.The term dessert can apply to many confections, such as biscuits, cakes, cookies, custards, gelatins, ice creams, pastries, pies, puddings, macaroons, sweet soups, tarts and fruit salad. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts.
- Halloween Dessert Recipes
- Halloween – Halloween or Hallowe’en (a contraction of “All Hallows’ evening”), less commonly known as Allhalloween, All Hallows’ Eve, or All Saints’ Eve, is a celebration observed in many countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day. It begins the observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the departed.One theory holds that many Halloween traditions were influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, which are believed to have pagan roots. Some go further and suggest that Samhain may have been Christianized as All Hallow’s Day, along with its eve, by the early Church. Other academics believe Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallow’s Day. Celebrated in Ireland and Scotland for centuries, Irish and Scottish migrants brought many Halloween customs to North America in the 19th century, and then through American influence, Halloween spread to other countries by the late 20th and early 21st century.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising and souling), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, and watching horror or Halloween-themed films. For some people, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows’ Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular, although it is a secular celebration for others. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows’ Eve, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain vegetarian foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
