From the dessert chapter of Henriette Schønberg Erken's Stor kokebok (1914). Apples were one of the most important dessert ingredients in Norwegian homes, and the chapter holds a long series of variations on cooked and baked apples.
Prepare the apples
Core the apples and peel them.
Bring the syrup to a boil
Put water, sugar, and lemon juice over the heat in an enameled pot (not iron or aluminum).
Cook the apples
Place the apples in the syrup and let them simmer gently until they are well half-tender. Turn them carefully so they don't fall apart.
Stud with almonds
Lift the apples into an ovenproof dish. Blanch the almonds, skin them, and cut each almond in two lengthwise. Stick the almond halves into the apples.
Bake
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the apples and put the dish in the oven (about 200 °C (390 °F)) until they are lightly browned, 8–10 minutes.
Serve
Serve the apples warm with jam, or cold with stiffly whipped cream piped on with a pastry bag.
Measurements have been converted to modern Norwegian units (deciliters kept, teaspoon/tablespoon modernized). "Flormelis" is given as powdered sugar (confectioners'/powdered sugar), and "sweet almonds" as ordinary almonds. The method has been divided into numbered steps and modernized in language, without changes to quantities or technique. Oven temperature is given as guidance (the original gives none).
