Schwedische Apfeltorte | Swedish Apple Pie

English version below


Keine Ahnung, warum der Kuchen schwedische Apfeltorte heißt. Aber so kenne ich ihn. :) Super um Äpfel zu verarbeiten, wenn sie nicht mehr so 100% bildschön sind - oder man spart sich Zeit in dem man direkt Apfelmus nimmt...

It's Fall! We need Apple Sauce!

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Apple sauce is great, especially when apples are in season, and you can make tons of nice goodies with it. For example apple pie. Or Himmel un Ääd, a traditional dish from the German Rhine land, which combines mashed potatoes and apple sauce with caramelized onions and veggie sausages.

Or eat it just plain like that.

Himmel un Ääd - Traditional Rhineland Cuisine with Apple Sauce

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Ah, regional cuisine. I come from a place where some roasts are made with horse meat, and most dishes are served with some sort of sausage. Fortunately I have a wonderful man by my side who has mastered the skill of making variations of vegan sausages. He already announced, I'd have to post sausage recipes as well. And I will - eventually. I'd love to include some pictures of how he makes them, so I can post step-by-step instructions.

Today, I am posting a quick recipe that can be mostly prepared in advance. It's very easy, tastes amazing, and may introduce you to food combinations that you may not have experienced unless you live in the Rhineland. We call it "Himmel und Erde" (Heaven/Sky and Earth), but the regional dialect says "Himmel un Ääd." It's called "Heaven/Sky and Earth" because you mix two things that grow in different places: Heaven/Sky stands for the apples, earth for the potatoes.
