From Disaster to Decadence: Apple Sauce Truffles

Sep.posted by Paula 66 Comments

From Disaster to Decadence: Apple Sauce Truffles

Have you ever had a kitchen failure? If not, you’re lucky or very skilled. I make mistakes all the time. Most of the time when I have a recipe fail, it’s from me trying to do too many things at one time and letting the pot boil over, or forgetting the bread in the oven. You can recover from some mistakes by thinking outside the box; you can go from disaster to decadence and no one has to know!

How to turn a kitchen mistake into a culinary genius!

or what I’ll call this boo-boo “From Disaster to Decadence: Apple Sauce Truffles”

You see, I made Oatmeal Apple Muffins for the Get Your Chef On Challenge. This is the second time I’ve had a fail when baking for a competition. My Oatmeal Apple Muffins were good, but they looked terrible! My muffins rarely every puff up in the center and are pretty little dome-shaped beauties that you see in bakeries and delis! I really hate that too. I’ve worked on perfecting my muffin recipes in the past, but can’t consistently have them puff up like I want.

Not wanting to submit flat-topped muffins to this prestigious challenge, I turned them into Apple Sauce Truffles! I know, genius! 😉

Note:

  1. You can make these as muffins and they are fabulous and will make a nutritious and flavor breakfast.
  2. Or, turn them into truffles, and they are even better!

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
time to roll & dip truffles: 20 minutes
Servings: 30 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashion rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup ready-made cream cheese frosting
  • 16 oz white chocolate candy melts
  • 2 tsp vegetable shortening
  • toffee bits or sprinkles of your choice for top optional
  • toothpicks

Instructions

For the muffins:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, beat the egg. Add milk, applesauce, and oil to egg and whisk until well combined. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until just combined. Scoop into muffin tin and bake 20 to 22 minutes or until light brown and center is set. Remove from the oven and let cool.

For truffles:

  • In a large bowl, break up muffins with a fork. Stir in 1/3 cup frosting. You want the mixture to be a little dry so don't add all the frosting at once. Work with it and see if you need all of it. Add remaining frosting if needed. When everything is well combined, roll into small balls and place them on a sheet of waxed paper. I use a small ice cream scoop to get even balls. Place in the freezer for an hour to set.
  • Melt chocolate and vegetable shortening in a microwave at 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth. Stick a toothpick in the center of the ball where it is secure. Dip ball in chocolate then place it on a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper. Top with sprinkles if desired. Allow chocolate to cool and harden for about 1 hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
