Spread: Äppelschmer
The perfect spread: äppelschmer recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 2 piece Apples big
- 2 piece Onions small
- 3 tablespoon Lard / fat
- Salt and pepper
- 1 branch Fresh thyme
- After the war, people were happy to have something deficient on the table. Asta Westphal used everything that the farm and the fields gave in the bad times. She made this spread, which is really hearty, but with mutton tallow, because there were enough sheep on Rügen.
- Peel the apples and onions, remove the cores and any inhabitants from the apples and cut both into small cubes.
- Heat the fat – I prefer lard – in a pan and stew the onion / apple cubes in it until the liquids have evaporated, the apple pieces slowly crumble into a pulp and the onions begin to turn brown.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir with fresh thyme leaves.
- This spread tastes lukewarm on fresh bread. However, you should immediately prepare a “degreaser”. 😉
