  • About

A happy memory of Christmas 1948 in northern Germany. The Viking influence on the food is visible in the use of aquavit. You may use any other apple you like if Fujis are not available.

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, to your personal taste
  • 12 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and each sliced into 8 slivers
  • 4 to 5

Method

Heat as little butter as you can in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In three successive batches, sauté the apples until very brown on both sides but still crisp inside. Off the heat, add 2 tablespoons of the aquavit, mix well, and cool completely.

Preheat the oven to 325°F
