Tilslørte bondepiker...
... is the name of a typical, traditional Norwegian dessert. After living in Norway for over nine years, I still have no clue why this delicious and easy dessert is called "Veiled Farm Girls". I have been given several different explanations, but none of them seem "true" to me, so I guess I will never get to know the story behind the name and the invention of this dessert.
Anyway, I made this dessert today as it's Norwegian Apple Day today and as apple sauce is one of the ingredients in this traditional dessert.
Tilslørte bondepiker / Veiled Farm Girls
(4 persons)
Ingredients:
oatmeal cookies or sweet crispbreads, crushed
walnuts, crushed
cinnamon
cream, whipped
- for the apple sauce:
0,5 kg of apple, peeled, deseeded and chopped
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp of sugar
1.) Crush the oatmeal cookies/crispbreads and walnuts ( I just put them into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them - a great way to get rid of some hidden frustrations!).
2.) Mix the oatmeal cookie crumbs and walnut crumbs with cinnamon, and set aside.
3.) Whip the cream, and set aside.
4.) Boil the chopped apples together with water and sugar, until softened.
5.) Turn of the heat and use a mixer or blender to turn it into a sauce.
6.) Layer whipped cream, apple sauce and the crumb mixture into tall glasses and finish with a layer of crumbs.
Serve and enjoy !!!
