Grape Muffins

Filling: We start by cleaning the apples, removing the skin and seeds. After cleaning them, we cut them into eighths, then slice each piece into thin slices widthwise to achieve a pleasant texture that can be easily incorporated into our cream. The grapes should be washed well under a stream of cold water, then left to drain in a colander. Once drained, we cut each grape in half, being careful to keep their juice and flavor.

In a large bowl, we mix 200 g of Philadelphia cream cheese with 100 ml of sweet white wine (semi-dry) and 150 ml of milk. We add 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar and a packet of Dr. Oetker vanilla-flavored cake cream. We use a mixer to combine the ingredients for about 2 minutes until we achieve a smooth and creamy composition. Then, in this delicious cream, we add the sliced apples and halved grapes. We carefully mix to ensure that the fruits are well incorporated into our cream so that each muffin has a consistent filling.

Dough: In another bowl, we bring together 375 g of flour, 100 g of Rama margarine, 50 g of sugar, a packet of vanilla sugar, a packet of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. We grate the zest of a fresh lemon and add its juice to the mixture. We mix all these dry ingredients well to homogenize them. Subsequently, we slowly add the warm milk in which we have dissolved the yeast, continuing to mix until we obtain a smooth and elastic dough.

On a work surface dusted with a little flour, we roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1 cm, then cut out round shapes using a cutter. We place the cut pieces of dough into the muffin tins, which we previously greased with a little butter (if we do not have muffin tins, we can use a savarin mold, which is equally effective). We lift the edges of the dough and put a tablespoon of our delicious filling in each form.

We let the dough with the filling rest in the tray for 15 minutes, during which time we preheat the oven. After 15 minutes, we place the tray in the preheated oven, in the middle, and let it bake for 30 minutes at a moderate heat. Once baked, we remove the tray and let the muffins cool for about 10 minutes, then we take them out of the molds.

Decoration: To decorate these delicious muffins, we use 250 ml of Hulala whipped cream, to which we add a packet of vanilla sugar and a teaspoon of ground cinnamon. We mix with a mixer until the cream starts to thicken, then we add a tablespoon of sour cream, which will help stabilize the composition. We continue mixing until the cream is well whipped and has a firm texture.

On each muffin, we place a generous portion of whipped cream and decorate with grape berries for an attractive appearance and fresh flavor. Enjoy your meal!
