Peasant Girls In The Mist Scandinavian Apple And Cream Pudding

This very old-fashioned, traditional scandinavian recipe, which is claimed by both denmark and norway! Wherever it came from originally, it does not alter the fact that this is a delicious apple, nut and cream layered dessert, which looks very pretty, served in individual glasses. If you can get hold of rye bread to make your breadcrumbs, it will be all the more authentic.

Steps

Put the cubed and peeled apple chunks into a large saucepan with the caster sugar and 2 to 3 tablespoons water.
Cook them over a gentle heat until they are completely tender - stirring them every so often to mash them down.
Put them into a bowl to cool.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the breadcrumbs and brown sugar.
Saute , stirring constantly over a medium heat until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Add the cinnamon and stir well.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Whip the cream and add the icing sugar & lemon juice.
Take a large glass bowl or 4 individual glass bowls and layer the stewed apples , breadcrumbs and cream - ending with a layer of cream.
Scatter with the chopped hazelnuts and serve.
