Cookessentials, just wondering whether you realise you have given only the method for the Apple Fritters at post 16 but not the list of ingredients ? I don't know how many times I have been into this thread but have only just noticed this.

I make apple Pancakes by adding cold stewed apples to a pancake mix instead of milk, then cooking them as you would pancakes. Served with a drizzle of lemon juice, or whipped cream or icecream.

Oh my goodness, thanks for noticing! ! sorry about that. I have copy and pasted from above AND put the ingredients in this time.
APPLE FRITTERS This is courtesy of Taste Magazine 2007 1 egg, whisked 2/3 cup milk 1 Tbsp butter, melted 1½ cups flour 2 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 3 apples, peeled and cored juice 1 lemon 2 cups sunflower oil 2 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp ground cinnamon
In a small bowl mix together the egg, milk and butter. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Whisk to form a thick batter. If necessary, add a couple of extra tablespoons of milk.
Slice each apple into about 4 or 5 chunky rings (about 1. 5cm thick). Place rings in a shallow dish, cover with the lemon juice and toss to coat.
Heat the oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat until hot (the oil is ready when a small piece of bread crust dropped in slowly turns golden brown). Dip an apple ring in the batter and carefully place in the oil. Repeat, cooking 4 fritters at a time until golden. Place on layers of paper towel to drain and keep warm while cooking remaining fritters.
Place the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish and mix. Toss each hot fritter in the mixture and serve immediately – 2-3 fritters per person – with a good scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Had a delicious apple crumble at one of our popular local cafe's the other night. It would have been one of the nicest ones I have had ( and I can take or leave apple crumble) It had a very nice chunky topping and the apple was beautifully spiced. They normally serve with cream and ice cream, but we forgo the cream for extra icecream. It is very tasty.

Yes cooks especially as l went a bit OTT with the limoncello, l give it an extra slosh, it is so nice and we keep it in the freezer in the garage or else there would be none to use making these LOL The limoncello with cream in is extra nice as well l had to taste it to make sure it hadn't gone off while in the freezer today, lol

Beat in sifted flours. Turn out on to lightly floured surface, knead lightly until smooth, divide in half. Roll each piece into a round between 2 sheets of plastic food wrap or greaseproof paper to fit a 20 cm (8in) round sandwich tin.
Place one piece into greased 20cm (8in) round sandwich tin which has base and sides lined with greased greaseproof paper. Place round into tin, press edges to fit tin.

This comes from AWW " Picnics "
Caramel Apples
8 small apples 2 T lemon juice 660g castor sugar 180 ml water 125 g butter chopped
Peel apples and put in bowl, then pour over lemon juice. Combine sugar, water and butter in a pan and heat, stirring untilsugar has dissolved. Bring to boil then reduce heat and simmer about 15 mins, occasionally shaking the pan, until the mixture is a good caramel colour. Remove from heat and let the bubbles subside.
Put apples in a greased baking dish, pour over the caramel and cover with greased foil or a piece of baking paper. Bake at 180C for about 30 mins or until apples are cooked through. Let cool.
Serve with yoghurt, whipped cream, ice cream, custard or whatever your favourite topping might be.

I have recently remembered a pudding/dessert I haven't made since goodness knows when. It's funny how you forget these things but I do remember that this was delicious. It can be eaten at room temperature or chilled. It's usually known as Peasant Girl with a Veil and sometimes Danish Peasant girl with a Veil.
Cook peeled apples until well cooked and beat to a puree, sweeten to taste, adding a pinch of ground cloves if liked. Melt some butter in a frying pan and fry fresh wholemeal or rye breadcrumbs and sugar to taste until browned and crisp. Let both mixtures cool to room temperature.
Layer the apples and breadcrumbs alternately in one large serving dish or in individual dishes starting with apples and making two layers of each.
If you like you can cover the top with whipped cream and scatter over grated or shaved dark chocolate.
As well as being a nice pudding this is also great for breakfast with a good coffee !

Isn't it lovely ? Apparently it is also sometimes called Swedish Peasant Girl with a Veil. It seems as though the two countries can't agree on who actually invented it, but whoever it was it's worth making... and eating !
