Laissez Faire la Food

(Do not take the food)

Saturday is the day that we always got up
We’d have a croissant, a little coffee in our cup
We’d talk about our plans and make a few
We’d sit at the table, we’d do what lover’s do

Sometimes we’d have orange juice instead of coffee
Sometimes it was cinnamon rolls with hot butter toffee
But no matter the food it is now met with rue
Saturday is just not as delectable without you

Cobblestone Muffins

Have you ever tried Panera Bread's Cobblestone Muffins?

Let me first say this: YUM! Do you like cinnamon, apples and raisins? Well here is a recipe similar to Panera's Cobblestone treat!


Cobblestone Muffins

Dough:
4 eggs
6 oz sugar
1 t salt
2 C milk - lukewarm
4 oz margarine or butter, melted
8 C all-purpose flour, divided
2 T yeast

Coating:
2 C brown sugar
4 T Cinnamon
4 oz butter, melted

Filling:
1/4 C raisins
1 apple, peeled and cut into thin chunks

Icing:
1 C powdered sugar
milk to desired consistency

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl beat eggs, sugar, and salt to start the dough. Combine warm milk and melted margarine/butter and slowly add to egg mixture. Slowly add 4 cups of the flour, mixing on low speed. After flour is incorporated, add yeast and mix well. Then, add the rest of the flour slowly. Turn out into an oiled bowl and let double in size.

Line LARGE muffin tins with parchment or muffin cups. Pinch off pieces of dough and roll into balls. Drop the balls into a bowl of melted butter and then roll in cinnamon sugar. Place four balls at the bottom of each muffin cup. Add a mixture of apple and raisins and then top with three or four more dough balls. Top with raisin/apple mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
