Apple Cider Biscotti Recipe Recipe
There's something about Apple Cider that just screams Fall, but really this recipe is perfect for any season of the year, and since North Coast Apple Juice and Cider are the same thing, there should be no issue gathering ingredients for this recipe year round! (People tend to think that Apple Cider is Cider because it is unfiltered, but since all North Coast juices are unfiltered to retain nutrients and offer that great taste, our juice and cider are the exact same recipe. One ingredient: ORGANIC APPLES!)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup North Coast Apple Juice or Cider
- 3 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Apple Cider Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons North Coast Apple Juice or Cider
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Using a stand-up mixer with paddle attachment, blend together the butter, sugar, and eggs for about 1 minute or until combined.
- Mix in apple cider until just blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture into mixer until well blended.
- Divide the dough in half on prepared baking sheet with the parchment paper lightly floured.
- Shape each half into a long roll shape, about 12-14" long and ยฝ inch high, 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from ovenand let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Using a very sharp knife to ensure a clean cut, carefully slice each log into ยฝ inch pieces and place cut side down on baking sheet.
- Return to oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and turn slices over.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Transfer to wire racks with tops facing up and allow to cool completely.
For the Apple Cider Glaze
- In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar, apple cider, and cinnamon together until combined and smooth.
Glazing:
- Place the parchment paper left over from baking under the wire racks for easy clean up after glazing.
- Making sure the biscotti is placed about1/3 inch apart, use a spoon to quickly drizzle the glaze in a diagonal fashion across all slices.
- The glaze should drip down the sides evenly and begin to solidify within minutes.
