Apple filling with Calvados

Ingredients

Apple - 4 pieces
Butter - 2 tablespoons
Lime Juice - 3 tablespoons
Sugar - 3 tablespoons
Raisins - 3 tablespoons
Ground Cinnamon - ¼ tablespoon
Vanillin - ⅓ teaspoon
Wheat Flour - 1½ tablespoons
Calvados - 3 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Core and peel the apples, then cut them into 1 cm cubes. Pour lime juice over them and mix to prevent browning.

Step 2

Heat butter in a saucepan or deep skillet, add raisins and sauté over medium heat for 1 minute (essentially, to soak them in the butter). Transfer to a small plate.

Step 3

In the same saucepan, add the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and vanillin. Stirring, sauté for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the Calvados and add the raisins. Mix in the flour (when combined with the butter and sugar, it will become sticky and brown, resembling honey).

Step 5

Reduce heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Leave for 5–8 minutes (watching to prevent burning and ensuring the apples soften slightly but retain their shape).

Step 6

The filling is ready. From here, the imagination can take over. If making open boxes like I do, gently brush the dough and filling with egg and sprinkle each box with a pinch of sugar. Bake at 392°F for 10 minutes, then another 10 minutes at 356°F.
