About the dish

Kavring (rusk crumbs) was used as a dry crushed coating in many of the book's desserts.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Prepare the apples

    Peel the apples, or not, as you like. Push out the core, but not quite all the way through.

  2. 2

    Roll in sugar and rusks

    Brush the apples with melted butter and roll them in a mixture of sugar and rusk crumbs. Place in a greased dish.

  3. 3

    Fill with almonds

    Blanch the almonds, grind them and mix with a little sugar. Fill the apples with the mixture.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Put the dish in a hot oven (about 200 °C (390 °F)) and bake the apples tender and a pretty light brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve cooled with vanilla sauce or whipped cream.

Changes from the original

Tablespoons are written tbsp, and "hot oven" is interpreted as about 200 °C (390 °F). The book does not state the number of servings; 6 is an estimate for 12 apples.
