Danish Apple Cake
Æblekage
A delightful Danish dessert that is more of a trifle than a cake, featuring layers of stewed apples, crunchy almond macaroons (or toasted breadcrumbs), and whipped cream. It's a light and refreshing end to any meal.
🧂 食材
- 1.5 kg Apples(about 8-10 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (a mix of tart and sweet varieties works well))
- 100 g Sugar(or to taste)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 50 g Butter
- 150 g Breadcrumbs(or crushed almond macaroons)
- 50 g Granulated sugar(for toasting breadcrumbs)
- 300 ml Heavy cream(whipped to soft peaks)
- 50 g Almonds(slivered or flaked, toasted (optional, for garnish))
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 100g sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and have broken down into a chunky compote, about 20-30 minutes. Mash slightly if desired, but leave some texture.

Let the apple compote cool completely.

While the apples cool, prepare the crunchy topping: Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs (or crushed macaroons) and 50g granulated sugar. Toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn.

Spread the toasted breadcrumb mixture on a plate or baking sheet to cool completely.

Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Do not overwhip.

To assemble the Æblekage, use a large glass serving bowl or individual glasses. Start with a layer of the cooled apple compote.

Add a layer of the toasted breadcrumb mixture over the apples.

Top with a generous layer of whipped cream.

Repeat the layers if desired, ending with a layer of whipped cream.
