Maple Cream-Filled Crème Brûlée Buns
Buttery-rich brioche bread meets pillowy doughnuts and cracked-top crème brûlée in this one decadent treat. Golden-hued pure maple syrup adds caramel sweetness to the slightly tangy cream filling that is revealed after biting into the satisfyingly crunchy candied sugar glaze.
Caramel Cake
Caramel cake is a beloved gem in Southern culture, treasured for its luscious layers of soft, buttery cake embraced by a decadent caramel icing that firms up at room temperature, creating a delicate crunch with every bite. The icing comes together easily thanks to the deep flavor of brown sugar, already infused with the essence of caramel. Achieve the perfect texture with just a touch of milk, butter, and cream while salt and vanilla provide balance and complexity. If you’re anxious about the cake being overly sweet, the magic of caramel is its trace of bitterness, adding a captivating depth that makes each bite simply irresistible.
Apple-Maple Tart
Set in our buttery Pâte Brisée and garnished with candied apple slices, this Apple Maple Tart is simple yet refined and even tastier when topped with the remaining reduced maple syrup.
