Crispy Baked Apple Pie Bites with a Chai Vanilla Dipping Sauce

Crispy Baked Apple Pie Bites with a Chai Vanilla Dipping Sauce | Lemon & Mocha

It’s peak apple picking season! Oftentimes it doesn’t feel like fall here until September is almost over so I’ve always associated apple picking with October. However, a few years ago Matt and I went apple picking with Matt’s parents at an orchard by them in Connecticut during the second week of October only to find that there were almost no apples left! Apparently while we were waiting for it to start feeling like fall we had missed peak season for apples. So today I’m sharing some apple goodness so you can join in while there’s still plenty of apples to be picked, stuffed into cinnamon sugar egg roll wrappers and eaten.

I wanted to make an easy apple dessert that would be quick to whip up so I started thinking about apple dumplings. There’s a lot of recipes on Pinterest that combine apples with crescent dough and while that sounds delicious I was looking to make something slightly less indulgent. Then I remembered my Southwest Turkey Baked Egg Rolls. I loved how crispy the baked egg rolls got that I had already started brainstorming other variations, but what about a sweet dessert variation?

When I tried one of these Crispy Baked Apple Pie Bites out of the oven they tasted even more outrageous than I was imagining. The spiced apples cooked down just the right amount so the soft apples contrast perfectly with the crunchy cinnamon-sugar coated outside. They’re also so easy to put together! There’s no cooking required except for letting them bake in the oven and as I talked about in my Southwest Turkey Baked Egg Rolls post, folding the filling up into these egg roll wrappers is way easier than you would think.

Once they are done cooking you get to indulge in the best part – dipping them in the vanilla chai dipping sauce. Simply powdered sugar, brewed chai tea and vanilla extra, this dipping sauce complements the Crispy Baked Apple Pie Bites really well. Chai tea is full of warming spices that are reminiscent of fall bringing a nice depth of flavor to a traditional vanilla glaze.

Also, by using brewed tea instead of the traditional milk or cream we are keeping the entire recipe dairy free, dipping sauce included, if that sort of thing is important to you. So between the fruit, the baking instead of frying, only using cooking spray and keeping them dairy free we totally have a healthy dessert on our hands right?! Okay, maybe not “healthy”, but definitely healthier than other desserts I’ve posted here so I’m going to go with just a eat a whole bunch of them and have no regrets, friends!

Crispy Baked Apple Pie Bites with a Chai Vanilla Dipping Sauce
 
Print
Yield: 15 apple pie bites
Ingredients
for the apple pie bites
  • 3 medium granny smith apples, about 1 pound
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus ½ teaspoon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 15 egg roll wrappers, see note
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • Cooking spray
for the vanilla chai sauce
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon strongly brewed chai tea
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
for the apple pie bites
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil or coat with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Peel the apples then cut them into a small dice. You do not want the pieces too big or it will be difficult to roll the wrappers. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the apples with the brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon and the ground nutmeg.
  3. Before filling the egg roll wrappers, make sure you have a little bowl or cup of warm water and a clean work surface. Place the egg roll wrapper down so that a corner is facing you. Scoop 2½ tablespoons of the apple mixture and place it in a horizontal strip in the middle (closer to the bottom corner than the top corner). I like to adjust the mixture so it’s more of a log shape then a big mound. Now you are about to fold and make sure you fold gently and carefully so they don't break although if it breaks a little that's okay. Take the bottom corner of the wrapper and fold it up and over the mixture so it’s completely covering it then continue to roll it one more time. Fold in the left and right corners so they create a little envelope then continue to roll it until it’s 1 roll away from the top corner. Wet your finger with the water and use it to moisten the whole exposed top corner. Fold the corner down to close up and seal the roll. Place it on the baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining rolls.
  4. In a small bowl combine the remaining ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon with the 2 teaspoons of sugar. Coat all the rolls with cooking spray then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over top. Bake the rolls for 8 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 8 minutes. They should be crispy and golden brown. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.
for the vanilla chai sauce
  1. Sift the powdered sugar into a small mixing bowl. Add the chai tea and vanilla extract then whisk to combine. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
Notes
I use Nasoya egg rolls wrappers. I find them in the refrigerated section of my grocery store near the hummus and guacamole.

Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins | Lemon & Mocha

As if the monthly Food Network Magazine muffins weren’t enough I’m now introducing even more muffins! That’s okay though because these Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins are so worth it. You know those mini muffins you can buy prepackaged at the grocery store? The Little Bites or Little Debbie ones, etc.? These Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins taste just like that so if you are a fan then you will be loving these mini bites. If you’ve never had them, I would almost describe them as chocolate chip pancakes, but in the form of a muffin. They are light, moist, soft – and chocolatey from all the mini chocolate chips, which is obviously the best part.

Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins | Lemon & Mocha

There are two dangerous aspects of this recipe. The first is that they are so easy to make. The second is that they are completely pop-able. As in, you just want to keep popping more and more of them in your mouth until they’re all gone. Oops. I first made these muffins to bring to my friend’s brunch football tailgate. I wanted something that didn’t need to stay hot and that would be a universal hit.

Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins | Lemon & Mocha

I highly recommend these mini muffins for brunch tailgates, morning potlucks or to have on hand when you’re going to be having guests stay with you. Or for eating in the car on a road trip, eating while watching Netflix or eating while biking along the coast. Also for breakfast, snack, lunch or dessert. Did I forget anything?

Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins | Lemon & Mocha

If you want to turn them into double chocolate chip mini muffins check out my note in the recipe. Also, a couple tips for baking and storing the muffins. As you can see in the photos, the muffins stay pale on the top. They do not get golden brown like a lot of other muffin recipes so if you are waiting for that you will overcook them. Just follow the recipe instructions and note so you will have perfectly moist and fluffy mini muffins.

Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins | Lemon & Mocha

I store the mini muffins at room temperature in a sealed plastic container so they stay soft just like the ones from the grocery store. Normally with muffins you don’t want them to get soft because you want the tops to stay nice and crunchy, but this is one case where they taste so good soft all over. I hope you all love these mini muffins as much as we do!

Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
 
Print
Yield: 48 mini muffins
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1¼ cups buttermilk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray a 24 cup mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray (or 48 cup if you have it). Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt until combined.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg until frothy. Add the milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract then beat until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until just combined - try not to over-mix. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  4. Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan. It makes 48 mini muffins so if you only have one 24 cup mini muffin pan you will have to refill it after the first batch is done and the pan has had a chance to cool. Fill the muffin cups ¾ full. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean or with a crumb or two. Let cool for 1 minute in the pan before carefully transferring the muffins to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
The tops of the muffins stay pale so don’t wait for them to get golden or the muffins will be overcooked. Just check them with a toothpick at 9 minutes and see if they need more time or not from there.
If you want some chocolate chips right on the top of your mini muffins for presentation purposes, carefully pull out the muffin pan after they have been baking for about 2 minutes and quickly place a couple mini chips on the top of the muffins before returning to the oven.
If you want to make double chocolate mini muffins, you could add 2 tablespoons of sifted cocoa powder to the flour mixture. I haven’t experimented with this version enough, but you might want to add a little espresso powder to emphasize the chocolate flavor and a little more vegetable oil (maybe ½ to 1 tablespoon?) to keep them moist. I will try the chocolate version again soon and report back. Everyone that ate them liked them, I’m just extra picky when it comes to my own baking!

Lemon Blackberry Icebox Cake

Lemon Blackberry Icebox Cake | Lemon & Mocha

We’re starting Monday off with a bang! This super simple no-bake Lemon Blackberry Ice Box Cake is channeling summer as we try to soak up the last week of August. I love lemon flavors all the time, but I especially love eating it in the summer since it makes me think of fresh ingredients and sunshine. Combine the lemon with some fresh plump blackberries and we are in full summer mode over here!

Lemon Blackberry Icebox Cake | Lemon & Mocha

I made this cake because I wanted to participate in Sally’s Baking Challenge over on Sally’s Baking Addiction. If you aren’t familiar with her blog, she posts a new challenge recipe every month to inspire more people to bake. I participated last month making cherry hand pies you can check out over on my Instagram and I had so much fun that I decided I wanted to participate again this month. The challenge for August is a chocolate chip cookie layer cake, which sounds amazing, but it is HUGE. Since there’s so many challenge months I missed out on, I decided to head into the archives and make a dessert from a past challenge.

Lemon Blackberry Icebox Cake | Lemon & Mocha

Last year, she posted one for a lemon blueberry icebox cake. Matt’s not a blueberry fan so we settled on blackberries and that’s how this cake came to be on your screen right now. Well after I made it, photographed it, edited it and loaded it up of course. While all that was happening, this light and tart cake was devoured so it’s safe to say it was a big success. Don’t be fooled by the challenge part; icebox cakes could not be easier since there is absolutely no baking involved.

Lemon Blackberry Icebox Cake | Lemon & Mocha

Even though I’ve eaten plenty of them, I’ve actually never make an icebox cake before. An icebox cake is typically made by layering cookies and whipped cream then placing it in the freezer. The cookies soak up moisture from the whipped cream and develop a soft “cake-like” texture. This version has multiple layers and each of them have me doing a happy dance.

Lemon Blackberry Icebox Cake | Lemon & Mocha

First, for our cookies we’re using graham crackers. You will need about six full-sheet graham crackers, which is just shy of one whole sleeve. For the whipped cream layer we are making a quick homemade lemon whipped cream. Beat together heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest until you have soft peaks – done! I love a pillowy homemade whipped cream, but the brightness from the lemon takes it to a new level.

Lemon Blackberry Icebox Cake | Lemon & Mocha

Finally, we have our homemade blackberry sauce that you can make with a saucepan in under ten minutes. We’re going to layer each component multiple times so you have a show-stopping cake slice like the ones pictured here that will have everyone thinking you spent hours in the kitchen. Below is a quick shot I took to show you how I layered the graham crackers; it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Lemon Blackberry Icebox Cake | Lemon & Mocha

I can’t wait for you all to try this one! I’ll be busy over here dreaming up other icebox cake variations to make in the near future.

Print
Yield: 10 servings
Ingredients
for the blackberry sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon warm water
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
for the cake
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 6 full-sheet graham crackers, a little less than 1 standard sleeve
  • Lemon zest and blackberries for garnish, optional
Directions
for the blackberry sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, lemon juice and warm water until the cornstarch dissolves. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the blackberries and sugar. Continue to stir until the blackberries have started releasing some of their juices, then add the cornstarch mixture. Stir for another 2-3 minutes while the blackberry sauce starts to thicken, mashing up some of the blackberries as you stir. Remove from the sauce from the heat and stir in the lemon zest. Set aside until it’s completely cool. Feel free to put it in the fridge if you want to speed up the cooling.
for the cake
  1. Line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure there is overhang over the edges so you’ll be able to easily life out the cake. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest on medium-high speed with the whisk attachment. Continue to beat until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Soft peaks are when peaks are just starting to hold, but flop over quickly.
  3. Make an extremely thin layer using a couple tablespoons of the whipped cream you just made on the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. This is to help the bottom layer of graham crackers stick. I'm going to describe the layering order here, but there is a quick list in the recipe notes section for reference. First, use about 2 graham crackers to make a single layer (see reference photo in the post). Next, a layer of whipped cream using about ¾ cup of the whipped cream. Then, layer half of the blackberry sauce. After the blackberry sauce comes another whipped cream layer of about ¾ cup followed by another single graham cracker layer. Layer another ¾ cup of whipped cream followed by the remaining blackberry sauce. Then another ¾ cup of whipped cream, a single graham cracker layer, and finally the rest of the whipped cream. Done!
  4. Once you have all your layers, you can top with lemon zest and blackberries for garnish, if desired, then cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours. The icebox cake can be frozen 2-3 days before serving.
  5. When you’re ready to serve, let it soften in the fridge for 1 hour before serving or allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Use the plastic wrap overhang on the sides to remove the cake from the pan and cut into slices. All leftovers (if you have any!) should be stored in the fridge.
Notes
Layer the following components in this order:
- Single graham cracker layer (about 2 crackers)
- Whipped cream layer using about ¾ cup of the whipped cream
- Blackberry sauce layer, using half of the blackberry sauce
- Whipped cream layer (3/4 cup)
- Single graham cracker layer (about 2 crackers)
- Whipped cream layer (3/4 cup)
- Blackberry sauce layer (remaining half of blackberry sauce)
- Whipped cream layer (3/4 cup)
- Single graham cracker layer (about 2 crackers)
- Whipped cream layer (the rest of the whipped cream)

Beach Crab Cupcakes

Beach Crab Cupcakes | Lemon & Mocha

This past week was my family’s beach week down at the Delaware shore. Every year my Dad’s side of the family gathers together at the beach for a week of lazy beach days, plenty of Leebreezes, and general family shenanigans. As usual, it went by too quickly and we’re already counting down until next summer’s beach week! Do vacations ever seem long enough?

Beach Crab Cupcakes | Lemon & Mocha

I wanted to bring down a fun treat and when I saw these Beach Crab Cupcakes on Pinterest I knew I had to make them. How cute are these? I don’t normally have the patience for decorating, but these were actually very simple.

Beach Crab Cupcakes | Lemon & Mocha

The hardest part was finding a gummy that would work for the eyes. I ended up using Sour Patch Cherry, which I didn’t even know was a thing. You stick a candy eye onto each Sour Patch Cherry, or whatever small round sour gummies you can find, for the crab’s eyeballs. The claws are made out of gummy peach rings that are cut in half. The crab’s body is made of gummy orange slices and finally the whole thing is propped up onto your cupcake and frosting of choice with some halved toothpicks. Don’t forget the graham cracker crumb “sand” on top!

Beach Crab Cupcakes | Lemon & Mocha

I used my Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting for these since they were already screaming summer even before I topped them with these adorable crabs. These are great for kids and adults alike, especially the gummy candy eaters like Matt.

Beach Crab Cupcakes | Lemon & Mocha

I will definitely be making these again, although I already started brainstorming cute cupcake ideas for next beach week! Happy Friday, everyone!

Yield: 24 cupcakes
Ingredients
  • 24 cupcakes
  • Batch of frosting to frost 24 cupcakes
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 48 Sour Patch Cherries
  • 48 candy eyes
  • 60 toothpicks, cut in half
  • 24 gummy peach rings
  • 24 gummy orange slices
Directions
  1. Frost the cupcakes, reserving a small amount of the frosting for the eyes. Sprinkle the tops of the frosting cupcakes with graham cracker crumbs.
  2. To make the eyes, use a small amount of icing to attach one candy eye to each small round sour gummy. Insert 1 toothpick piece into each prepared eye.
  3. To make the claws, cut the gummy peach rings in half. Insert 1 toothpick piece into each crescent shaped gummy peach half.
  4. To put together the crab, insert a toothpick piece into the bottom of the flat part of the gummy orange slice. This will be how the crab gets set on top of the cupcake. Take the two prepared eye toothpicks and insert them both onto the top curved part of the gummy orange slice. Finally, insert one prepared claw onto each side of the crab. Insert the crab onto a frosted cupcake then repeat for the remaining cupcakes.

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting | Lemon & Mocha

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting! Yes! These cupcakes are pure bright, summery and creamy heaven. I love cupcakes, but ever since I started making filled cupcakes I am so spoiled by them. Filling cupcakes isn’t difficult, but it gives them that something extra special. First of all, with filled cupcakes you get that surprise factor when you bite into it. Secondly, it adds a third flavor and texture element to the cupcake making the depths of deliciousness that much deeper.

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting | Lemon & Mocha

These Key Lime Pie Cupcakes are filled with Monday’s creamy key lime curd. I wanted a base cupcake that would pair well with the key lime curd so I went with a moist vanilla cupcake that has a hint of spiced cookie to it since some of the flour is replaced with graham cracker crumbs. I got the idea from June’s S’mores Muffins – remember those bad boys?! I love the taste the graham cracker crumbs provided to the muffin so I figured why not replicate it in these vanilla cupcakes.

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting | Lemon & Mocha

I initially was planning on making a cream cheese frosting for these loaded cupcakes, but I had some mascarpone cheese in my fridge that was begging to be turned into frosting. Mascarpone is made using whole cream so it’s a lot creamier and richer than cream cheese. Cream cheese also has more acidity to it and we’re already getting enough acidity from the key lime curd filling that mascarpone seemed to be a better fit for the frosting.

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting | Lemon & Mocha

I wouldn’t be able to pick a favorite component of this recipe, but this mascarpone frosting? Insane. I can’t even describe to you how hard it was to save it for topping the cupcakes and not eat it all. There’s not even any butter in the frosting because the mascarpone is rich enough on its own to hold up to the sugar and vanilla. I don’t like overly sweet frostings; I would much prefer a whipped cream frosting over a buttercream frosting. The mascarpone frosting reminded me of a cross between a whipped cream frosting and a cream cheese frosting because it was rich and creamy without being too sweet.

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting | Lemon & Mocha

Having a mouthful of the light cupcake, the tangy key lime curd and the creamy mascarpone frosting was definitely on my top five bites of summer this year. Enjoy, friends!

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting | Lemon & Mocha

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting
 
Print
Yield: 14 cupcakes
Ingredients
for the cupcakes
  • ¾ cup cake flour (see note)
  • ½ cup graham cracker crumbs, plus more for topping
  • 1¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon key lime zest, about 3 key limes, plus more for topping if desired
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup key lime curd
for the frosting
  • 6 ounces mascarpone cheese, cold
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup heavy cream, chilled
Directions
for the cupcakes
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cupcake pans with paper liners (this makes 14 cupcakes) and set aside.
  2. Sift together the cake flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the eggs for 20 seconds. Add the sugar then beat until combined on medium speed, about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla extract, vegetable oil and key lime zest then beat again until combined.
  4. Reduce the mixer speed to low then carefully add half of the flour mixture. Once just combined, add half of the buttermilk. Repeat with the remaining flour then with the remaining buttermilk. Try not to over-mix the batter. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  5. Divide the batter between the prepared 14 cupcake liners. Bake for 12-14 minutes. The edges should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with just a few crumbs on it. Let cool in the pan for 1-2 minutes then remove the cupcakes to let cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
  6. Once the cupcakes are cool, use a cupcake corer or a knife to remove the middle of the cupcake. Fill the cupcake with about 1 tablespoon of key lime curd - enough so it fills the cavity in the cupcake. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
for the frosting
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together the mascarpone and vanilla until incorporated. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar until incorporated. Slowly add the heavy cream while still beating the mixture then increase the speed to medium. Continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Once the cupcakes have been filled with key lime curd, frost them with the mascarpone frosting then sprinkle with the graham cracker crumbs and additional key lime zest, if desired. Store in the fridge until ready to eat.
Notes
If you don’t have cake flour, follow this substitution to use all-purpose flour. Measure out ¾ cups all-purpose flour. Take out 1 tablespoon and 1½ teaspoons of the measured flour (you can put these back in your flour container, you won’t need them). Add 1 tablespoon and 1½ teaspoons of cornstarch to the flour and sift together before using in the recipe.
If you don’t have buttermilk, follow this substitution to use whatever percentage milk you have in your fridge. Put ½ tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar (I prefer to use lemon juice when I’m baking) into a liquid measuring cup then fill with milk until you have ½ cup. Let sit for 5 minutes before using in the recipe.
These cupcakes should be stored in the fridge.
