Danish Apple Pie:
1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups diced apples, peeled and sautéed in 1 Tbls butter until soft
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Beat the egg, gradually adding the sugar and vanilla. Then add flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt to create a smooth batter. Fold in slightly cooled sautéed apples and nuts, then p9our into a buttered and floured 8" square pan or 9" pie pan. Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Caramel Apple Topping:
4 chopped apples; no need to peel
4 Tbls butter
Pinch of nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup cream or buttermilk
Melt the butter in a heavy pan. Add the sugar and swirl until melted. Add the spices and apples and sauté until apples are tender. Add the walnuts and stir. Turn off the heat, and slowly stir in the cream. Serve over ice cream or cake and keep leftovers in a jar in the fridge. Also good with yogurt, pound cake or granola. I halved the topping recipe when I made it. It is easy to do if you don't want a lot of leftover topping.
