I used two large sheets of frozen puff pastry defrosted. I peeled and then chopped 4 large cooking apples. I added a couple handfuls of raisins. I coated the fruit with just over 1/2 cup caster sugar, 2 tsps of cinnamon and a dash of ground nutmeg.
I put in about 20g of dark chocolate at the top before laying a puff pastry sheet overtop the fruit, and sealed it by pinching the sides. At this stage it looked a bit like a wedding cake gone wrong, so I dusted it with nutmeg and some brown sugar to try and improve things a bit.
Above - This is what it looks like after baking for 35 min at 220C (425F). Yes, it's a giant puff pastry (about the size of an A4 sheet of paper.)
This is 1/3 of it eaten. So very yummy. I serve it with Maud's Pooh Bear ice cream (vanilla ice cream with honey and honeycomb candy). Can't wait to have a piece tomorrow.
Simple and YUMMY! Why wait till tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious, and simple to make too. I like the idea of chocolate being added.
ReplyDeleteKelli, you are a bit of chocolate fiend, aren't you? How ever many apples did you have, by the way? You seem to have done so much with them. Apple Strudel will always remind me of Austria. I once visited the Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna, and one of the attrations was a strudel-making demo (and of course, tasting).
ReplyDeleteDoes this ever look good!!I plan to try your recipe myself. The chocolate bits take things up a notch for me!
