Join Carla Lalli Music, Alex Delany, Chris Morocco, Sohla El-Waylly, Amiel Stanek, Priya Krishna, Molly Baz, Rick Martinez, Brad Leone and Claire Saffitz for another episode of Test Kitchen Talks. This time, we took the advice of viewer Kylee Hill, who on an earlier video suggested: 'They should give each chef a recipe with all the ingredients measured out in front of them. The catch is they don't know what the recipe is.' That was a good idea, Kylee, so we did that.
Join Carla in the Test Kitchen as she makes an apple tart! This unadorned tart bakes at a fairly high temperature and boasts a deeply browned crisp crust. The apples at the bottom of the tart are insulated from direct heat, so they steam and soften into a very tender layer. The ones up top hold their shape, which means you’ll get a mix of textures in each bite.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes apple cider doughnuts. These sugared doughnuts are craggy and crunchy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside.

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes chicken and tomato stew with caramelized onions.

Apply this same thinking to other baking spices like nutmeg and cloves.

Cake made with applesauce is good. Cake made with apple butter—which is basically just super-concentrated applesauce—is so, so much better. Moist and tender, with huge apple-y flavor, this simple spice cake is the ultimate bring-to-your-friend's-house baked good. If you really want your mind blown, serve the slices topped with more apple butter, a dollop of yogurt, and a dusting of cinnamon sugar.
