Caramels and Caramel Slice - Keto

I use this recipe to make caramels and have made the caramel slice.
Our preference is caramel with 95% cacao chocolate drizzled over the top...eaten from the freezer.

Over Night Caramel and Apple Scrolls


These are great. Easily made the day before, then baked in the morning. I used foil trays this time due to lack of suitable dishes from the dinner the night before. A great breakfast idea for a houseful of guests.

Great hot, just out of the oven or cold.
The caramel topping was a bit too sticky, so I’d possibly increase the quantities of topping in foil dishes. Previously in this be large dish worked well.


Ingredients

  • Rolls
  • 3  to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4  cup sugar
  • 1  teaspoon salt
  • 1  pkg. active dry yeast
  • 1/2  cup applesauce
  • 1/2  cup milk

  • 1/4  cup butter
  • 1  egg
  • Caramel Topping
  • 1/2  cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2  cup applesauce
  • 3  tablespoons butter, melted
  • Filling
  • 2  tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/3  cup sugar
  • 1  teaspoon cinnamon

Directions
  1. 1. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, salt and yeast; mix well.
  2. 2. In small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup applesauce, milk and 1/4 cup butter; cook over medium heat until very warm (120 to 130°F.), stirring constantly. Add warm mixture and egg to flour mixture; blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.
  3. 3. On floured surface, knead in an additional 1/2 to 3/4 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85°F.) until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
  4. 4. Grease 13x9-inch pan. Combine topping ingredients in pan; mix well. Spread evenly in pan.5
  1. 5. On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 15x12-inch (about 30 by 40 cm) rectangle. Spread dough with 2 tablespoons butter. In small bowl, combine 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon; mix well. Sprinkle over butter.
  2. 6. Starting with 15-inch side, roll up tightly, pinching edges to seal. Cut roll into 12 slices; place cut side down over topping in pan. Cover; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  3. 7. When ready to bake, let rolls stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat oven to 400°F. (about 200 degrees c) Uncover rolls; bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan 1 minute; invert onto serving platter or tray. Scrape any remaining topping onto rolls. Serve warm.
