DANISH APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease a 22-centimetre round cake tin. Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Sieve flour into mixture and fold in thoroughly. The mixture will be quite stiff. Peel, core and quarter apples, then slice them thinly. Spread half the mixture in the bottom of the cake tin and cover with half the sliced apple. Cover with the rest of the mixture and arrange the remaining apple in a wheel pattern over the top. Mix cinnamon and white sugar then sprinkle over the apple. Place in the centre of the oven and bake for 35 minutes. To check if it's ready, insert a skewer in the centre; it should come out clean.

ORIGINAL RECIPE FOR DANISH AEBLESKIVER (PANCAKE BALLS)

Steps:

• Separate the egg whites and yolks in separate bowls.
• Whisk the sugar and egg whites fluffy and stiff. The bowl must be completely clean and dry. A tiny bit of water will make the eggs whites impossible to whisk stiff. Set aside.
• Mix the egg yolks, all-purpose flour, natron (baking soda), salt and vanilla sugar together in a separate bowl.
• Use a hand mixer to mix the ingredients while gradually adding the buttermilk. Keep mixing until the batter is uniform.
• Melt the butter and let it cool off a bit. Slowly add the cooled butter to the buttermilk mixture while whisking.
• Use a wooden spoon or similar to slowly mix the stiff eggs whites in the batter.
• You need a special Aebleskive pan for frying. You can get one online or maybe at your local kitchen store.
• Heat up the Aebleskive pan at medium heat and add a small piece of butter in each hole. Fill the holes 3/4 with the Aebleskive batter.
• When the batter starts to get firm and you can turn them over without cracking, then turn the Aebleskiver 90 degrees (using a wooden stick or similar) and let the batter flow into the pan.
• At this point there is a hole in the side of the Aebleskive. Pour a little extra batter into the hole and turn the Aebleskive another 90 degrees so that the hole gets closed.
• When the Aebleskiver have a solid surface turn them regularly so they get an even and light-brown crust.

DANISH APPLE TRIFLE

• In a sauce pan; add water, the apple pieces, sugar and the seeds from a vanilla bean. Also add the empty vanilla bean, it still have a lot of flavor.
• Heat up the apple mixture and let it simmer until the apples are tender. If the apples are sour you should add a little extra sugar. When the apples are done; set aside to cool off completely.
• Pour the hazelnuts in an oven proof dish and bake them for 10 minutes at 200 C (400 F).
• Pour the warm hazelnuts in a clean dishcloth and rub them well until most of the skin are removed.
• Pour the sugar on a frying pan and slowly melt it at medium heat. Do not stir in the sugar while it is melting. Let the sugar melt completely and become light brown.
• Add the skinned hazelnuts to the molten sugar and stir in the mixture for about 1-2 minutes. Pour the hazelnut croccante on a sheet of parchment paper and let it cool off.
• When the hazelnut croccante is cooled off; chop it using a food processor or similar.
• Whip the heavy cream into a whipped cream.
• Now the apple trifle are to be assembled; Use two large or four smaller glasses; Start with a layer of apple puree, then some hazelnut croccante and then some whipped cream. Continue until you have the amount of layers you like. We normally have two layers. Finish off with some of the hazelnut croccante. Serve right away or keep it refrigerated.

APPLE DANISH

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and instant yeast in a mixing bowl. Add the water and room temperature butter and beat for 1 minute. Stir in the remaining cup of flour and mix well. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and transfer to an oiled bowl, turning to coat the surface of the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Place the chopped apples and 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well; add the mixture to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.
• Transfer the Danish dough to a floured surface and punch the dough down. Let the dough rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Roll the dough out into a 13 x 8-inch rectangle. Place the dough on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Turn the baking sheet so that you face the short side of the dough. Spread the apple filling down the center third of the dough. With a sharp paring knife, make cuts in the dough along the right side, starting each cut about 1/4 inch from the apple filling. Cut to the edge of the dough strip, with each cut angled to about 4 o'clock. Each strip of dough should be about 1-inch thick. Repeat on the left side of the dough, angling the cuts to 8 o'clock.
• Starting at the top, fold the dough strips across the apple filling, alternating left and right. The pastry will look like a long braid. Pinch the top and bottom ends of the braid to seal in the filling. Cover the pastry and let it rise at room temperature until the dough is puffy, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the braid for 20 minutes, covering it with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. Remove the pastry from the oven and allow it to cool.
• To make the glaze, heat the 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally and cook until the milk solids turn brown and give off a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Mix in the milk a teaspoon at a time until the glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Decorate the Danish braid with the glaze.
