Replacing the Deep Dish Baker for Apple Nut Ring Recipe

[Elleoz]

An upcoming host wants to do the Apple Nut Ring for her show.

The recipe calls for the Deep Dish Baker, but I don't have one. Any suggestions on what item to use as a replacement? I was thinking the large bar pan, but wanted some feedback.

Thanks!

Do you have a Square Baker? Large Bar pan would be too big, and not really deep enough (although depth isn't as much of a problem as the size). Medium Bar Pan would be better than the large.

I was thinking Square Baker too.


I have a vague memory of Apple Nut Ring at the only PC party I ever attended before becoming a consultant...it was back in the early '90's. A friend dragged me to it - I had no idea where I was going - or why I was going there, and I couldn't figure out why this woman was cooking all this food. (that was back when they demoed several recipes) I had no clue that we were supposed to be buying the stuff! I didn't.

Too bad I didn't know then what I know now!

I love Apple Nut Ring!! It was one of the recipes that I demoed a lot when I first started.

I tried to make this and cried because my stupid oven burned it.

I didn't know you were supposed to use Grands biscuits ...

The original didn't call for Grands, because it was developed before they existed. It uses the "small" biscuits that are frequently available in 4-packs.Apple Nut Ring2 packages (7.5 ounces each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 medium granny smith apples
1/3 cup nuts, gratedHeat oven to 400˚F. Separate biscuits. In bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Melt butter. Dip biscuits in buter; roll in sugar mixture. Arrange biscuits in an overlapping circular pattern in Deep Dish Baker.Peel, core and slice apples. Cut slices in half crosswise. Place an apple slice between each biscuit and around outer edge of baker. Grate nuts. Mix nuts with any remaining sugar mixture; sprinkle over top.Bake 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are deep golden brown. Serve Warm.Makes 10 servings.

Maybe it was because I used a glass dish and not stoneware ... but I can't imagine baking those tiny biscuits for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, no matter what else is in the dish!
