DUTCH APPLE PUDDING WITH BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre - heat oven to 350 F or 180 C. Grease 4 medium sized ramekins or an ovenproof deep dish measuring approx 10 inches x 5 inches. (It doesn't have to be exact). If using ramekins, after greasing, simply line with some cut out squares of parchment paper. This is not necessary if serving directly from the ramekins, I lifted mine out and served on other dishes just for a decoration.
• In a large bowl, add the peeled apple chunks, and the other ingredients for the topping. Mix well so the apples are nicely coated. Set aside.
• Make the cake batter by sieving the flour, salt, cinnamon and baking powder. Then in a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs slowly, with a tablespoon of the flour mixture to avoid the batter from splitting. Add the oil, vanilla, orange juice and spices. Mix well, then add HALF of the milk and HALF of the flour. Mix then add the remaining milk and finally the remaining flour.
• Using a spoon, place spoonfuls of batter around the sides of the baking dish, and a few spoonfuls on the bottom. Add the apples to the middle of the dish, and continue with spoonfuls of batter around the edges until it is all used up. Pile up the apples in the center, so in the end, you have the cake batter around the sides of the dish and the apples in the middle. Sprinkle some sultanas or raisins if using.
• Place in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes for ramekins and roughly 40 minutes for a larger pan. Test by inserting a skewer in the cake batter and seeing if it comes out clean.
• When done, remove from the oven and allow to rest whilst you make the butterscotch sauce.
• In a pan, dissolve the sugar with the water over a low heat. Bring to the boil but don't stir at all. When the sugar is a dark golden caramel, whisk in butter. Remove from the heat and stir in double cream.
• When ready for serving, drizzle some warm butterscotch sauce over the top of the apple pudding and enjoy! You can also serve the sauce separately in a jug so everyone can help themselves.

DUTCH APPLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Coat with vegetable oil spray or butter a 13-by-9-inch pan or a 10-by-121/2-inch pan.
• Line bottom of pan with one layer of bread slices. This should fill about one-third of the depth of the pan. Cover bread completely with one layer of apples. The apples should almost reach the top of the pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk eggs just until all the yolks are broken. Add honey and mix well. Add milk, cream and vanilla and mix well.
• Slowly pour custard mixture over apples and bread, giving the liquid time to be absorbed into the bread. (If there is custard left over, pour into individual oven-proof dishes and bake in a water bath until done.).
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare streusel by combining butter, sugars, flour and cinnamon in a food processor, or combine with a pastry cutter or with hands. Do not overmix or butter will be creamy. Mixture should be crumbly.
• Evenly crumble streusel over custard mixture in pan; mounding slightly if needed. If you have any leftover streusel it can be sprinkled over leftover custard before baking.
• Place the pan of bread pudding in the oven on a sheet pan with sides. Or, set in the center of a larger baking pan. Pour water into the sheet pan, filling it about halfway up to make a water bath. Bake in preheated oven 11/2 hours or until custard is set, turning pan halfway through cooking and adding more water if needed. When done, remove from oven and cool about 30 minutes. Serve warm or refrigerate and reheat later. Makes 24 servings.

APPLE DANISH

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and instant yeast in a mixing bowl. Add the water and room temperature butter and beat for 1 minute. Stir in the remaining cup of flour and mix well. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and transfer to an oiled bowl, turning to coat the surface of the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Place the chopped apples and 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well; add the mixture to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.
• Transfer the Danish dough to a floured surface and punch the dough down. Let the dough rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Roll the dough out into a 13 x 8-inch rectangle. Place the dough on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Turn the baking sheet so that you face the short side of the dough. Spread the apple filling down the center third of the dough. With a sharp paring knife, make cuts in the dough along the right side, starting each cut about 1/4 inch from the apple filling. Cut to the edge of the dough strip, with each cut angled to about 4 o'clock. Each strip of dough should be about 1-inch thick. Repeat on the left side of the dough, angling the cuts to 8 o'clock.
• Starting at the top, fold the dough strips across the apple filling, alternating left and right. The pastry will look like a long braid. Pinch the top and bottom ends of the braid to seal in the filling. Cover the pastry and let it rise at room temperature until the dough is puffy, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the braid for 20 minutes, covering it with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. Remove the pastry from the oven and allow it to cool.
• To make the glaze, heat the 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally and cook until the milk solids turn brown and give off a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Mix in the milk a teaspoon at a time until the glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Decorate the Danish braid with the glaze.
