Baked Apple Blossom

Hoho, my friends.

So I start most of my letters and texts at this time of the year.
I am an absolute Christmas Child, you have to know. Although I’m born in October. For me, it may not be enough glitz, glamour and magic of Christmas. Good food – and a lot of it – belongs to me clearly to Christmas. Then I’m often talking to me that we don’t eat in the rest of the year as much as we eat as Christmas time, therefore it balances out.
Whatever the case.

Now we come to the baked apple which I brought you today.
I love baked apple, especially for Christmas time. When I saw a really tiny picture of an onion which opens like a blossom in the oven, I was impressed. Something like that I also wanted, but not with an onion. So I thought what to do. I had the idea of an apple blossom. A baked apple blossom. It’s so easy to make and it looks amazing – and the taste….ohhhhmmmm!

So, enough babble. I’ll show you below how to do such great baked apple blossom.

Because this is my last guest article here provisionally, I wish you already a cuddly warm, heavenly quiet, incredibly relaxing, beautiful angel and a reindeer strong Christmas, a nice rest advent time and a wonderful new year!

Dearest regards, Leah.

Here comes the recipe for the apples:

You need some (solid and not so sweet) apples, some margarine, brown sugar, some cinnamon, caramel (liquid or pieces) and optional toppings like vanilla ice cream or some extra cinnamon or caramel.

First you preheat the oven to 250 centigrade. Then you prepare the apples after the little tutorial, I made for you, so that they look like little blossoms when they come out of the oven after baking.

When you follow the tutorial it’s very important that you place the apples in an oven safe casserole.

After preparing you bake the apple for 15-20 minutes in the oven, but be carefully that your apples don’t burn. When the apples are cooked, you can get them out of the oven and press them to the outside in blossoms.

That was the whole magic. To serve, you can put some vanilla ice cream or whatever you like on the warm apples and enjoy them cuddled in a warm blanket.

Extra Thin Apple Tarte With Rosemary

Hey guys! It´s me again.

I hope you liked the “Monster Dough Chocolate Chip Muffins” from my last guest post.
Today I have a super delicious and extra thin apple tarte with rosemary in tow.
I actually wanted to make something suitable for halloween for my second guest post here, but somehow I had no right idea for something baked for it. Actually we not really celebrate halloween here.
So I was thinking, for something suitable to bake for autumn.
Because our apples trees in garden have hanging some super delicious apples on their tree branches now, I wanted to bake something with apples.
I thought first about a tarte tatin, which my mom already had baked after a recipes by Jamie Oliver (or was it Tim Mälzer) some time ago, but I remembered that this was a very slippery affair.

September 3 // Mystery Chef

Go to the grocery store and spend no more than $10-20 on a medley of ingredients — anything that catches your eye, especially things that seem odd or that you’ve never eaten. Go home and make a meal with your new ingredients. Do not use anything you already own except for spices and basic things like oil or butter. Do not follow a recipe, either. Allow your intuition to kick in. Chop things in funny shapes. Enjoy the mystery in your concoction.

The Swedish Kräftskiva

Sweden / Schweden, tradition

Kräftskiva, or in English the Crayfish Party is a annual summer party in Sweden. They occur typically at some weekend in August, because that’s when the crayfish harvesting is legal in Sweden.
Besides the crayfish bread, cheese, pies and of course Snaps and beer will be served. And a song with every snaps.

Kräftskiva, oder im Deutschen das Krebsfest, wird jährlich im August in Schweden gefeiert. Im August deswegen, weil dann die Krebsfangsaison beginnt.
Neben den Krebsen gibt’s meist Brot, Käse, Pies und natürlich Schnaps und Bier. Und ein Lied mit jedem Schnaps.

Chocolate, Muffins

Hey guys! It’s Leah from nowmatterhow.

One reason why I love it to blog is the virtual communication with other people you will probably never meet in real live. Exactly for this reason, I am always like a madman about messages. No matter what kind. That I may publish several guest posts at Midsommarflicka is a great honor for me and I’m very thankful and happy about that.
On my blog you can see the things in my life that make me happy and let me spread love. These are my family, creativity, photography and the ability to make the world with my making a little bit better and happier – my little world.
Baking is also a passion of mine. I enjoy to connect things together and take pictures of the (hopefully great) result at the end and then share it with people.
For my first guest post here I have chosen nothing that nobody knows, only muffins. Everyone knows them and I actually know nobody who can resist them when they are done correctly.
