Appelflap
16 Aug
The abundance of apples lead me to make ‘Appelflappen‘ today. Yesterday while the apple cake was baking I made apple sauce, the most easiest recipe ever. Just peal, decor and chop the apple’s into small pieces. Heat a pan with a tiny amount of water in the bottom, add the apples, some sugar (if you like) and cook the apples until they start to break up. So they are soft and slightly mushy. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavour.
Yesterday my daughter Amira could of eaten all of the sauce on the spot but I convinced her that it would be better to wait a day and make ‘Appelflappen’. I don’t remember how many apples I used but it was enough to fill a breakfast bowl.
Ingredients
Ready made puff pastry (packet of 10 squares)
Applesauce
1 beaten egg
sugar
Method
Heat the oven to about 220ºC. Meanwhile lay out the puff pastry to defrost. When the pastry is ready divide up the apple sauce over the squares. You can make all sorts of pastry shapes, it’s up to you. We have a small oven so I usually just make a simple rectangle shape, make sure you close the sides using a fork. Put your flappen on the baking sheet (I use baking paper), brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for about 20 mins or until golden brown. Let the flappen cool before serving otherwise they will be boiling hot!



We had some extra over ripe banana’s, really dark, not so nice to eat as fresh but perfect for baking. So instead of making the usual banana bread I grabbed out a selection of my cook books and sifted through them until something took my fancy.
