Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (preferably tart, such as Granny Smith)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 200 grams Breadcrumbs
- 100 grams Butter
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 300 ml Heavy cream (for whipping)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 100 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 2
Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water to the saucepan with the apples. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and slightly broken down (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 3
In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir well to coat them in the butter.
Step 4
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the breadcrumbs. Cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and caramelized (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Step 5
In a large serving bowl or individual dessert glasses, layer the apple mixture and the caramelized breadcrumbs. Start with a layer of apples, then breadcrumbs, and repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with breadcrumbs on top.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Step 7
Serve the Danish Apple Pudding chilled or at room temperature, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
