Caramelized Apple

These caramelize apples are meant to be slightly sweet, not over-tart and thoroughly warming. They are wonderful addition to ice cream or cracker, or just eat them alone! :)

You just need 4 ingredient, which most likely you already had it : apple, sugar, cinnamon and butter.

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, throw (well, throw gently, of course) sliced apples in the pan, I use granny smith. Sauté for couple minutes, then add sugar, stirring frequently until they just get tender. Sprinkle cinnamon over the cooked apples, toss the mixture gently for another 2 minutes, until the sugar begin caramelized and the apples are crisp-tender.

There's no precise recipe for this, just cook according to your feeling. You can try it with brown sugar, which I am sure is ummhhh.. or you may splash lemon juice over it for more tangy flavor. Again, go by your feeling :)

Raisin Roll

I've been wanting to bake cinnamon roll since like...I don't know when. But the problem is nobody like cinnamon in the house, nobody except me, myself. And then I saw one of my friend post her cinnamon roll on facebook, and I can hear myself saying "It's time, baby!"

As always, I will do some research before actually bake them. Just read and keep reading. Then I decided I'm gonna try her recipe. Her step by step photographs really taught me well, I know how the dough will look like, the instructions is very detail, and she convinced me to bravely pour a whole lot of melted butter. I quote her, "This is not non-caloric".

And because no one like cinnamon, I change it to raisin and brown sugar for the filling.

What makes me happy is, just when I'm done baking them, everyone's home from work and the smell of freshly baked bread is just the most comforting smell after long day working. You just gotta eat it right away!

I make some in the cupcake form
