The cheese puffs work because microwaves heat up water faster than they heat up fat, while normal ovens heat up the fat faster. That's why they don't melt normally

[@jinjerlucas47]

And microwaves cook from the inside out

As a Hispanic, we have been making cinnamon sugar tortillas since...forever. we call them buñuelos. Usually, we make the sugar tortilla from scratch, but hack it using the store bought raw tortillas. We fry them and them and then cover them in the sugar cinnamon. SO yummy!

[@DeathByBlonde1]

My friend taught me this when we were growing up about 30 years ago. I used to make them for my son when he was little as a snack. Now that I eat mainly keto, I’ve tried to make them with keto tortillas (store bought of course) and substituting out the sugar with allulose or stevia/monk fruit/erythritol blend and make in my air fryer. They are good, but nothing hits like the ones my friends mom would make for us when we would go to her house. Maybe that’s the nostalgia… or nothing beats mama’s cooking…

Apple crumble should have butter or fat of some kind. I don't think it would get crisp without

[@rudeminnesotan]

I used to make something like this using just cut up apples, cinnamon sugar, cooked it.. then added Greek yogurt and some heritage oats *cereal*.. that way it was nice and crunchy lol

[@thormach]

I bet the cinnamon tortilla chips would be better with melted butter instead of avocado oil :)

[@meghanholland8590]

Even if I try a bran new recipe I always pre measure. And then if I like it and make it again I just wing it. So, I feel it's appropriate to pre-measure and not include it in the time. I'm just saying. 😊

[@arvisprikulis899]

I am from Latvia, and we didn’t have cinnamon sugar on toast, but my grandmother used to make something very similar. She would mix sugar, cinnamon and sour cream and spread it on a piece of white bread and put it in the toaster over for 5 minutes. It was my favorite after school snack as a kid.

[@Momoolein]

Oh wow! This sounds phenomenal! ❤😊

[@DeathByBlonde1]

That sounds yummy!!! I might have to try it in my air fryer since I don’t have a toaster oven.

[@AlexandraR92]

[@Flysfloss9146]

use a nut free granola for the apple crumble. works great and is faster

[@EM-zw5zl]

I was going to say what Rachel said about the butter, why wouldn't you just make a normal crumble for the top of the crisp, with butter? Why the milk?

[@jenniferwilson3436]

My guess, as someone who has used almond flour in baking with weird results lol, is that almond already have a lot of fat in them. This fat does release while cooking, so butter could make it very oily. But also the video she found, could possibly be one of those no dairy, no refined sugar "healthy recipes" lol

[@Armssej]

It would be really cool to see you and Chris upscale the 5 min recipes more to your liking while trying to stay within a reasonably good timeframe.

[@Ray_Vun]

i was thinking the same, she and chris should do a video where they revisit these 5 minute recipes but tweak them to be better and nicer tasting

[@Tweetiebyrd13]

In my family we have been doing cinnamon sugar toast for decades! It is definitely a German thing, at least in our family’s history.

[@LeeLee86]

Not the only one😂😂😂

[@angelikaradominska5512]

[@EmilyDirsh]

Almond flour probably has some fat you're missing in the crumble. Work the flour and oats into some softened butter and crumble on top!

[@KcWouldntYouLikeToKnow]

You CRUSHED the tortillas!! 🎉 ....😂😂😂 I wrote this, and a minute later, you're like..."no one says crushed anymore" 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ millennial here lol YOU CRUSHED IT!!! We ain't slaying dragons lol

[@christinamatzen4214]

[@blaireshoe8738]

Yes! Pretty sure almond flour contains a lot more fat than regular flour, so compensate with butter :D

[@amberaq129]

Christopher nor his sisters have a Finnish accent. How did that happen? Also, does he speak to your kids in Finnish? I find foreign languages incredibly fascinating.

[@Ray_Vun]

and i've only ever heard it being mentioned that christopher grew up in finland, no mention of his sisters, who are in videos often, having grown up there. as for the accent, there's countries that have english only schools, often times children of military and diplomats and such attend those schools, and so they speak perfect english with an american or british accent. i know of an influencer who grew up in spain but speaks broken spanish because his parents aren't from spain and moved around a lot and put him in one of those schools when they settled in spain, so he speaks perfect english but really broken spanish because he grew up speaking english. chances are chris only knows the more basic finnish stuff and isn't super fluent like he is with english

[@alchemyanni]

I am 100% Finnish and live in Finland, and don't have a Finnish accent. My sister also is fully Finnish and has always lived in Finland, and she has an impeccable British accent. No one can tell she's not a native speaker. Point being, it's possible. Especially if you live in a location where English is spoken as the main language, one can adopt the local accent. Traveling also helps!

[@jenniherranen1551]

We Finns start learning English at school from a very young age and because our TV shows are not dubbed so we do hear the proper pronunciation of American / British English from that too. I was an exchange student in Wales in my twenties and it took about three months for the teachers to realise that I wasn't local but actually from Finland 😂

Hello from Germany and my grandmother did Cinnamon Sugar Toast all the time when I was young 🍞

[@alexandras5347]

I was thinking the same thing re: the Gatorade. Why did we need to add more sugar? Cause ya that would be a good way to get electrolytes especially for kiddos.

[@teresaspurgeon1013]

Pedialyte now makes Popsicles. I used to make them many years ago in a mold when my kids were small. They are great whenever the kiddos need the electrolyte boost. ❤

[@LazyPoetess]

My assumption is the added sugar is to counter the fact that freezing things dulls our ability to taste their flavors. It's why melted ice cream tastes a lot sweeter than when it's frozen. It also might affect how it freezes and the consistency of it, because higher sugar might make it less icy.

[@blaireshoe8738]

@@LazyPoetess ah, that's likely why. I've definitely frozen gatorade before and it ended up as an icy slush, very crystal-y, this seemed much smoother in a way that can't be down to just the mixer step.

Literally making apple crisp when I started watching this video. And ALSO trying out a "pumpkin bread" hack where you blend a 14 oz can of pumpkin puree into a yellow cake mix, add chocolate chips, and then bake it in a loaf pan.....We'll see how that goes.

How was the pumpkin bread? Sounds delicious.

[@Seeinnee]

[@saragomez2052]

You can also mix a can of pure with cookie mix (not dough) and it tastes so good. I’ve also seen it made with brownie mix but I’m not a fan of chocolate so I haven’t tried it

@@randoria284 Disappointing! The outside was getting borderline burned while the inside was still gooey. Maybe it would work better as a 9x13 bar instead of a loaf?

[@marymartinez8047]

I make a similar recipe. Try baking them in mini or regular size muffin tins. Sometimes I add chopped pecans. As soon as you pull them out of the oven brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Oh! I use a spice cake cake mix versus a yellow.

[@mikkilewis5312]

Drain the grease before adding anything, even the garlic. Add some Italian seasoning, more salt and pepper, a teeny bit of sugar or honey to cut the acidity of the tomato paste, sour cream instead of cream cheese OR all cream (may have meant heavy/whipping cream), then let it burble for a couple of minutes. It isn't BAD, it's just ... rushed, IMO.

[@ItsJustLisa]

Philly Cooking Cream also came in flavors, Italian being one. In my comment, I put the info from their Pinterest for making your own since they don’t sell it anymore.

[@janetmaffy5375]

Philly doesn’t make their cooking cream anymore. It came in different seasoning varieties-Santa Fe, Italian, Garlic, Pesto and Lemon & Herb. It was supposed to be a ready mix-in to jazz up your meals. Their hack for replicating it at home is a one tub of their cream cheese spread, 2T of milk and then: Pesto-mix in 2T pesto Italian-mix in 1T Italian seasoning Garlic-mix in 1/2T of garlic powder Santa Fe-mix in 2T of taco seasoning mix Lemon & Herb-mix in 1t lemon zest, 2T lemon juice,1/2t garlic powder, 1/4t black pepper Obviously these can be tweaked and you should salt to taste. (Thank you Pinterest.) All that said, besides ground beef not browning in 5 minutes, it would have been about 5 minutes to assemble and be ready if you had the Italian cooking cream. The seasoning would have also been in said cooking cream. So I’d try making your own version of their cooking cream and then retry recipe.

[@coccolinasvedese]

One of my "quick" meals I love is Gnocchi that I fry with brussels sprouts, mushrooms, salsiccia ground meat (so the raw salsiccia I cut down and frie), and cherry tomatoes. add some white wine, herbs, and pepperoncino (hot dried italian chilli fruites). And I serve it with burrata cheese (or mozzarella but burrata is better)

[@meganwhitney3911]

Our Best Bites has an air fryer crumble recipe you can make on the side while the apples are cooking. That way you get the quickness of the microwave for the whole, but the crumble will be what you want too. It’ll take more than 5 minutes, but way less than the 30 minutes just in baking of the whole apple crisp.

Grew up in Iowa cinnamon sugar toast definitely a thing. My mother had a shaker that contained sugar and cinnamon already mixed not a real fan. rather have peanut butter or just butter on toast

[@Sunshine-uo7um]

You NEED to try it! So good!

[@RandomNexus]

These look interesting, indeed. I'mma have to try the tortilla bit and the 'cheese' puffs. I can't believe they crisped up! Also, as far as 'quick and easy' recipes; have you tried pepperoni and salami 'chips'? You sandwich pepperoni and/or hard salami slices between about 3+ layers of paper towels and microwave for about a minute, possibly more (YMMV depending on your microwave) and they end up with a really nice crisp, because they're basically quick-fried in their own fat, but the paper towels soak most of it up. Great with cheese or the usual charcuterie-type things. Obviously great if you're doing low-carb and miss the crunch of potato chips, as well as the salt, because these little devils retain all their salt. Chris will probably love 'em. *_grin_* Thanks, Rachel! 😁👍🏼💜

[@moni13000]

Kraft Singles can't actually be considered real cheese because they contain less than 51% cheese. So just that alone tells me it'll likely to act differently than normal cheese would. My educated guess is that the microwave makes it bubble up; but unlike heating a Kraft single on a stove were it will bubble and melt, the intensity of the microwaves probably 'fry' the thin membranes of 'cheese' before they deflate, leaving a puff. So I think the grosses part about it is just the Kraft single itself, I don't think microwaving really makes it any worse. So if you're ok not looking too closely into what the other 49% of the ingredients are, then go ahead and make them. 🤷🤣

[@MajikAce]

Growing up I’d make the cheese puffs for my little brother after school. I never really questioned why it worked, it was just something we always did and was simple to do since my parents didn’t like me using the oven when they weren’t home. I never realized it wasn’t a common thing to make 😂

[@checktheinsanity]

Microwaves cook differently. They work by heating up the water molecules inside and so cooks from the inside out, versus ovens and such that cook from the outside in.

[@nehamaw]

I learnt about crispy cheese like the cheese puff the hard way 😂 was making a cheese taco and it crisper into nacho lol. I now make cheese nacho/tacos just out of cheese alone.

[@libbymelton1567]

I would omit the "milk" in the apple crumble and use butter and less flour.😊 Maybe only cut up half of the apple and that would make it within the 5 minute time frame. I don't think that they should even call the Gatorade one 5 minutes if you have to let it freeze overnight!😕

[@nikitatavernitilitvynova]

I think the microwave gets hot too fast for the cheese to melt. Kind of what happened with bread today. I left it in the sun so much to melt it (it was frozen) that the bread became crispy. So I'm thinking the cheese doesn't even have enough time to actually melt before it bubbles and goes all crunchy. Might have to try this with some lactose free cheese and see. I think it would work great as a dumb snack.

[@shriyarai3689]

I think it is only fair that the recipes take you over the set timer because if you were only cooking that dish then you might have taken only 5 minutes, but here you're recording a video, giving us updates and making that dish all at once so they're taking more time. Anyways, I love your vibe❣️

With the apple crisp, if you used an oven safe ramekin and did it in the air fryer, you'd get the crispness to the topping. Also you could probably blend some oats to get an oat flour to use in place of the almond flour. If you do it in the air fryer I'd probably do a pat or so of butter on top.

If it helps you feel better. The thick rind of real parmesan cheese does the same thing in the microwave as the American processed cheese slice. I assume it has to do with the lack of moisture in the cheese as opposed to anything else. The find of parmesan is really dry as is a processed cheese slice. I'm thinking that haloumi cheese might do the same thing too.
