Apples in a dressing gown

In elementary school, and quite a bit of time has passed since then, we had a very useful subject: Housekeeping. We cooked, we baked, we made simple desserts ... we briefly mastered some basics, the basics of cooking. Among those simple desserts were “apples in a dressing gown”. I'm sure your moms or grandmas prepared it for you too. For those who don’t know “dressing gown” is the German term for a men’s or women’s bathrobe. Since apples have their own "enclosure" of dough, old Zagreb cooks called this dessert "apples in a dressing gown". It won’t hurt to remember this recipe especially in this time of recession.

Preparation steps

Wash the apples, peel them, carefully dig out the middle so that there are no stones or stalks (you can use a special device if you have one).
Once you have cleaned them, cut them into rings 5-6 millimeters thick.
Prepare a mixture in which you will dip the apples so that they get a dressing. The mixture is actually like that for pancakes, but it has to be thicker. Add egg and vanilla sugar to the milk and mix them with a whisk.
Then add flour, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of rum and grate the lemon zest.
Dip the apple rings into the mixture and fry on each side in deep oil until golden brown.
Take them out on a napkin to soak up the excess fat and sugar with powdered sugar.

Apples flavored with lemon zest, nutmeg and cinnamon make a great filling for puff pastry. The dough will rise lavishly if you do not allow the butter to melt in it during thawing.

Apple soup

We are sure that this interesting and delicious Romanian soup will find a lot of supporters here as well. If you are not afraid of a slightly more complex preparation, know that the soup will invigorate you and keep you warm on cold winter days.

Apple strudel

A juicy filling of apples and raisins could not wish for a better treatment than wrapping in a thin dough intended just for strudels. Crispy crust and "snowball" of powdered sugar are a must-have addition to this dessert.

Carob cake

Dare on your own initiative and choose a carob cake for your Sunday table.

Celery in vinegar

Celery is highly valued for its aromatic and medicinal properties. It has an intense aroma and a spicy taste, a bit salty, so it should not be seasoned too much.

Chocolate with fruit for good morning

The most favorite food for children and anyone who likes to be reminded of childhood with the addition of pieces of fresh fruit will make chocolate snacks complete.

Playful colorful salad

A cheerful celebratory salad in three colors will alleviate the "weight" of other dishes that we like to overdo during the holidays! An enticing combination of bright colors will make even those for whom a salad is a "necessary evil" with a "concrete" dish taste it.

Puff pastry and apple strudel

Puff pastry can be used to make excellent quick strudels. An unusual detail of the recipe are the crumbled biscuits, which we arrange on the puff pastry with the filling. It is this detail that makes the folder special.
