Best 4 Smoked Apple Slices Recipes

SMOKED TROUT AND WATERCRESS ON TART APPLE SLICES

Steps:

• Combine apple slices and lemon juice in medium bowl; toss gently to coat. Cut trout fillets lengthwise in half, then cut each half into apple-slice-size pieces. Drain apple slices; place on platter. Top each slice with 1 watercress sprig, then 1 trout piece. Sprinkle with pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.) Serve.

APPLE SLICES

Steps:

• Sift together flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Add lard and cut in with pastry cutter or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a measuring cup, mix water, egg yolks and lemon juice together and pour over flour mixture. Blend gently with a fork until combined; mixture will be very moist.
• Divide dough in half. Roll or pat one half of dough directly into 9" by 13" jelly roll pan, bringing dough slightly up the edges. I patted with my hands, you could also try a mini roller. Spread apple filling evenly over the dough. Roll remaining dough to fit the top, either on a well floured pastry board or the back of a sheet pan and then carefully flip it over the top. Press or pinch the edges together, don't worry if it doesn't seal completely, as long as top is completely covering apples. Patch where necessary. Cut several slits in top dough for steam vents.
• Bake in 400º oven for 40 minutes, until crust is nicely browned, rotating pan halfway. Remove to rack to cool.
• Make glaze. Combine sugar, softened butter, vanilla and milk until smooth, adding more milk if necessary for consistency. Spread glaze over top of crust with an offset spatula and let glaze set and harden. Cut into 2- or 3-inch squares and enjoy!

SMOKED PORK BELLY

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients of the dry rub together in a small bowl using a fork or a whisk.
• Prep the pork by removing the skin (if it is still attached). Slice scores through the fat but not through the flesh with a very sharp knife to cross-hatch throughout the entire fat layer.
• Place the pork belly on a sheet pan and add a liberal amount of rub on the belly, rubbing it into all the crevices. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Remove the pork belly from the refrigerator at least an hour prior to smoking to bring it to room temperature.
• Bring the temperature of your smoker up to 225 F. Add your wood chips to start the smoke and place an aluminum drip pan with a few inches of water under the grates to catch drippings.
• Place the pork belly fat side up on the grates and smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, which will take 3 to 4 hours.
• Remove the pork belly from the smoker and let rest on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
• It can be sliced and eaten right away, or it can be chilled, sliced and crisped up on the grill or pan fried for a few minutes on each side.

SMOKED SALMON AND APPLE CARPACCIO

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the bread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly brown and crisp. Cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Arrange the smoked salmon in a single layer on a serving platter. Lay the apple slices on top. Sprinkle the capers over the salmon and apple slices. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with the toasted bread.
