Recipe monday

Today I'm bringing all my readers back to my childhood in Oslo Norway.

Every summer when the apples stared to ripe my grandmother made this dessert.

In norwegian its called "Tilslorte bondepiker", in english that would be " farmers daughters dressed in veils".

I know, don't ask me why!

All it is is wonderful homemade apple compote, toasted spiced breadcrumbs and sweet whipped cream.

For me, this is the dessert of all desserts.

Enjoy!

Serves 4

 

2 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and cut into cubes

juice of 1/2 lemon

1/4 cup golden raisins

1 tablespoon rum

1/2 cup sugar

 

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cups fresh breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups whipped cream

Place apples in a large skillet.

Add lemon juice, raisins, rum and sugar.

Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until soft.

About 10 minutes.

Cool.

Heat the butter in a skillet and add breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon.

Cook, stirring, until golden brown.

Set aside and cool.

Spoon apple compot, breadcrumbs and cream in layers in 4 glasses.

Serve cold.

Oh... we have that in Denmark as well - and it has the same name as in Norway.
Love it, love it, love it.
In DK it's made without the rum, though. I guess that is a Norwegian thing - Or a Sweet Paul thing :o)

Oh wow! My grandma used to make it with mixed berry compote, in Finnish it's called "the vicarage's emergency stack" :D

Perhaps it is the Norwegian in me (father's side) that is drawn to this recipe? Perhaps it is the apple lover. Perhaps I'll never know. It looks marvelous, and I bet it causes your home to smell divine as the apples, lemon, raising, rum and sugar cook together. I'm not sure how you finish the dessert, rather than just eating that concoction straight from the pan!

I found you on TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.

Best,
Casey

Er litt flau over at jeg faktisk ALDRI har spist tilslørte bondepiker. (Hvis jeg har så har det ikke gjort inntrykk på et barnesinn :)) Dette så innmari godt ut og skal utprøves i nærmeste fremtid!! Koser meg veldig med bloggen din som faktisk var den første bloggen jeg begynte å lese! :)

[natalie]

Yum! This sounds good!

I made this wonderful dessert 2 years ago (http://sandrakavital.blogspot.com/2007/02/tilslrte-bondepiker-lentremets-de.html)
it's simple, tasty and so delicious!
Thanks to you and your post, I ran into my kitchen yesterday and made it again.
Just as good!
Thank you so much :)

I almost forgot... Andreas Viestad, a Norwegian chef has his theory about the original name of this dessert: he says that the dish is like Norwegian girls: sweet, blond and a bit tart...
