Ingredients
 

  • 4 Elstar apples
  • 100 g Amandelspijs (raw almond marzipan)
  • 1 Vanilla pod
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Cardamom powder
  • As an alternative: cinnamon powder 1/2 tsp and nutmeg grated to feel)
  • 1 packet Fresh puff pastry can also be frozen
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 cl Coffee Liqueur
  • 1 Baking tray - not an oven tray like me
  • Parchment paper
  • 1 packet Custard
  • 250 ml Milk

Instructions
 

  • Peel the apples and remove the core, preferably with an apple cutter. Cut the vanilla pod lengthways and remove the vanilla pulp. Put the Amandelspijs, coffee liqueur, cardamom or the alternative of cardamom and half of the beaten egg in a small bowl and mix well. Rest on the last step. Fill the apples with the mixture and keep the rest. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces large enough to cover the apples with later. Divide the remaining filling over the 4 pieces of puff pastry and spread it on. Fold the dough over the apples (unworked surface of the dough facing up) into a nice ball and place it on a baking sheet with the folded side down. Spread the leftover egg on the apples and sprinkle them with the sugar. Cut the vanilla pod blanks into 4 equal pieces and place them in the middle of the apples as a "false stem". Now place the baking sheet in the middle of the preheated oven and let the covered apples bake until golden brown (about 30 minutes)
  • Prepare vanilla sauce as instructed. You could also prepare the Vs yourself, but I didn't feel like it during the stressful time. It's a very powerful dessert, but outrageously tasty! Try it and you will like it. Happy Holidays to all of you, your Hoci
  • P.S. I'll put the recipe for the alternative Amandelspijs (the filling of the apples) in KB tomorrow if the internet allows it
