Æblekage med nøddecrumble – Apple cake with nut crumble

Instructions

Steps for the apple sauce:

1. Peel the apples and cut them into small pieces. You should end up with approx. 1 kg without kernels and peels.
2. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and mix them with a bit of the sugar to separate the seeds.
3. Pour the apples, sugar, vanilla and the empty vanilla pod into a saucepan.
4. Add 1 dl of water and bring to a boil. Let the apples cook on medium heat for approx. 10-12 min. until they are tender and cooked through - add more water if the porridge is too thick.
5. Mash possibly the apples with a whisk, but let the porridge have a little structure. Put in the fridge and let it cool completely.

Steps for the crumble:

1. Finely blend or chop the nuts and mix them with the other dry ingredients.
2. Melt the butter in a pan and pour your crumble mixture over it. Fry it over medium heat until it turns golden and smells wonderful.
3. Spread the crumble on a piece of baking paper and let it cool completely. Store it if necessary. in an airtight container until the apple pie is to be served.

Assembly:

1. Whip the cream until firm.
2. Collect the apple cake in serving glasses or a large bowl. Spread applesauce, crumble and whipped cream in 2 layers each. Top possibly with a little crumble and freeze-dried raspberries at the end.
