Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 Adams Pearmain or Reines des Reinettes, or similar Russet apples
50g unsalted butter , melted
4 tbsp caster sugar
50g caster sugar
20g unsalted butter
40g Braeburn apple , peeled, cut into 5mm dice
80ml apple juice
½ tsp arrowroot , diluted in a little water
1 tsp Calvados
15g brown bread , cut into small cubes
15g icing sugar
15g pistachio nuts
10g whole almonds
5g flaked almonds
1-2 tsp Calvados

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/140C fan/gas 4. (When cooked with the fan, it's better to use a lower equivalent heat as the apple skins can burst before the apples are cooked if the heat is too intense.) Trim the bases off any apples that do not sit flat, without removing too much. Insert a small knife about a quarter way down the apple through to the core. Insert the corer at the base of the apple and slide up to the incision, twist the corer, then remove the core, keeping the apple's stalk intact.
  • Brush a shallow ovenproof dish with some of the melted butter, then sprinkle over some of the sugar. Brush each apple with the remaining butter, then roll them in the remaining caster sugar. Place the apples in the dish and bake for 30 mins.
  • Meanwhile, for the sauce, heat the sugar in a small heavy-based pan over a medium heat until it reaches a dark golden caramel. Stir in the butter and the diced apple. Cook for 30 secs without moving the pan (use a spoon to cover the diced apples in the caramel mixture). Pour in the apple juice and bring to the boil. Stir in the diluted arrowroot, a little at a time, until it has thickened slightly, then remove from the heat and add the Calvados.
  • For the garnish, toss the bread with half of the icing sugar, then scatter onto a baking tray. Mix the nuts, Calvados and remaining icing sugar together until well combined, then spread onto the same baking tray, mixing with the bread. Bake for 8-10 mins, stirring halfway through, or until the nuts and bread cubes are golden brown. Set aside to cool. 5 To serve, place one baked apple into the centre of each of 4 serving plates. Spoon the Calvados sauce into the centre and around the apple, then sprinkle over the toasted garnish.

SAUSAGE AND APPLES, NORMANDY-STYLE



Sausage and Apples, Normandy-Style image

Calvados is the famous apple brandy from Normandy. A well-stocked liquor store will generally have it on hand, but you can substitute applejack brandy (or even a good fresh apple cider.) "I can buy boudin blanc in many places in New York," Joseph says, "but depending on where you live, it may not be so easy for you. If I had to substitute, I suppose I would use bockwurst, which is a similarly, delicately flavored German veal sausage. Potatoes mashed with butter and cream is what we always eat with this."

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 or 4 links (about 1 pound) fresh French white sausage (boudin blanc) or bockwurst, cut into 3/4-inch slices
4 small Granny Smith or other firm, tart apples, about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, cored, halved, and cut into 1/4-inch crosswise slices
Ground cinnamon
1/4 cup Calvados, applejack or good apple cider
1/4 cup heavy cream
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large cold skillet, arrange the sausage slices in 1 layer. Set over medium-high heat, and cook, turning the slices once or twice until they are crisp and nicely browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a 2-quart casserole, arrange a layer of about 1/4 of the sausage slices. Cover the sausage with a layer of about 1/4 of the apple slices. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Continue in this manner to make 4 layers, ending with the apple slices.
  • Stir the Calvados into the skillet in which the sausage was browned, scraping up any crusty, brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the cream until well blended, Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole.
  • Cover, and bake for 1 hour until the apples have cooked down and the mixture is bubbling. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

APPLE PIE WITH CALVADOS



Apple Pie With Calvados image

Calvados is a brandy made from apples. It heightens the apple flavor. This recipe is heavier on the spice and lighter on the sugar than average. Adapted from Vegan Planet by Robin Robertson. We use dairy butter instead of a vegan product, and changed up the spices. Note that baking temperature and time are specific to our oven, and may need to be adjusted for yours.

Provided by Jacob Galley

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
7/8 cup butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup ice water, as needed
5 large Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon arrowroot
2 tablespoons calvados or 2 tablespoons brandy

Steps:

  • Sift and combine the flour and salt. Mix in 5/6 cup of butter gradually with a dough wisk (leave 1 tbsp for step 5). Mix in just enough ice water until the dough just starts to hold together. Transfer to a work surface, divide in half, and flatten to form two disks that are about 3/4" thick. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (You can do this ahead of time and refrigerate for longer. It's okay but will take longer to warm up and roll out in next step.).
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 piece of dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Fit the dough into the pie plate, and trim and flute the edges. Refrigerate the pie plate. Roll out the remaining dough for the top crust, and refrigerate.
  • Peel, core, and slice the apples, and place in a large bowl. Pour the lemon juice over the apples and stir so that all pieces are covered. Add the brown sugar and stir again.
  • Mix together the spices, starch, and calvados. Add a little of water if needed to mix evenly. Pour the mixture over the apples and stir.
  • Spoon the apple mixture into the bottom crust in the pie plate. Dot with the 1 tbsp of butter. Place the top crust on the fruit, seal with the bottom crust, and flute the edges. Use a knife or awl to create several steam holes in the top crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes more. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
