Peasant Girl with a Veil

Yes, it's this month's recipe! A classic apple treat from Norway

This pudding has 3 layers; apple puree, crisp sugary breadcrumbs, and whipped cream.

Apple puree: gently cook 2 lbs (1Kg) peeled, cored, and sliced apples with a squeeze of lemon juice, stirring frequently to prevent them burning. Breadcrumb layer: add 4oz (100g) wholemeal breadcrumbs to 1oz (25g) melted butter, and 2 oz (50g) caster sugar in a frying pan and fry lightly until golden brown.

When cool, place the puree in a serving bowl, cover with the cooled breadcrumbs and finish with a layer of whipped cream. Decorate with grated chocolate!
