a call for recipes using apples
Nov. 10th, 2006 05:52 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bantha_fodderA friend of mine has given me a ridiculously large number of apples. If anyone can suggest things I can do with these apples, please do!
I assume most suggestions will be desserts anyway, but if they are for main meal kind of things, please note that all recipes must be vegetarian in order to be of use to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Date: 2006-11-10 10:09 am (UTC)One thing I do like is simply baked apples, if they're really tart. Core, fill holes halfway up with a mixture of chopped (wal)nuts and cinnamon, then top the holes with maple syrup (or mix dark sugar with the nuts and fill completely). You can put a dab of butter on top, but I've done it both ways and don't really notice the difference, especially if served with ice cream. Anyway, then you bake them in a moderate heat until they're all soft and more or less splodey. That's pretty much a winter dish though, it might be too warm where you are for it to work.

Date: 2006-11-10 10:47 am (UTC)1) just stew them up, baby. with 1/2 c sugar and cinnamon and nutmeg and ginger - will freeze okay too, so may be done in enormous quantities
2) tart tatin - i have a recipe, if you can't find a million versions of it all over the place.
3) Almost Apple Pie Cake
1/2 c olive oil
2 eggs
2 c brown sugar
2 c chopped apples (4 apples)
2 c SR flour
1 tsp bicarb
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c currants (other)
* beat oil, eggs, sugar
* add remaining ingredients and mix
* pour into greased lined tin. bake at 180oC - 50-60 mins (will sink)
* with thick cream, consume vast amounts
with hearts :)

Date: 2006-11-24 03:33 am (UTC)It seems that I was mixing together two recipes in my head, it's actually a dutch apple cake (which is still really good!). There is a completely separate tea cake recipe which is good, but has nothing to do with apples.

Date: 2006-11-10 01:22 pm (UTC)I have a great recipe for easy baked apple crumb/crisp at home. Apples, rolled oats, brown sugar, butter (or marg), flour, cinnamon, raisins optional. Let me know if you're interested and I'll type it up. :-> A 9 inch round thing takes 6-10 apples depending on size.

Date: 2006-11-12 02:49 pm (UTC)6-10 apples (depending on size)
1 tbs fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup raisins (optional, I use them)
2 tsp cinnamon
Crumb topping:
1/3 cup (cold) unsweetened butter or margarine
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (I use medium colour)
1/2 rolled oats (not quick cook, just regular)
Peel, core, and slice apples. Don't have to kill yourself slicing too thin. Toss the apples with the lemon juice so they don't brown, then toss with the cinnamon. Add the raisins, if you wish, and toss once. Dump into your (ungreased) baking dish in an even layer. Apples can come all the way up to the top of the dish, and can be mounded in the middle some.
In a separate, dry bowl, combine crumb topping ingredients. You can cut the butter in with a pastry cutter, or you can mix by hand - just be quick about it - until the mixture is "crumbly". Press the topping gently over the fruit.
Bake at 375F for 35-40 mins until fruit is tender and top is browned (60 mins will be bubbling).
The thing will have deflated somewhat. It will be hot! LOL You will not want to eat it right away because you'll scald yourself unless you serve it with ice cream. Wait about 5-10 minutes before serving. It will have a falling-apart-ey consistency.
You got me hungry now. LOL I usually use Lobo or Paula Red apples because that is what is everywhere during apple-picking season here. I wouldn't use Cortlandt or Macintosh. I never tried any of the Delicious variety or Granny Smith. How bad could it be? LOL It should smell divine while it's baking.

Date: 2006-11-11 07:46 am (UTC)6ish apples peeled and sliced into 8ths, 10ths or even 16ths if you swing that way
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp honey
handful sultanas
1/2 tsp cinnamon
hint of clove if you so desire
melt butter, spices and honey in a saucepan.
add apples and sultanas.
cook so apples go soft, but retain their shape, and sultanas go fat.
Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
The best bit is the melty saucy creamy stuff youre left with at the end.
Mmmmmmmmm...
*smooches you*
