Preparation time: 1.5 hours
Difficulty: average
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 70 g Bonita apples cut into cubes
- 125 g quark (or low-fat ricotta)
- 25 butter
- 10 g sugar
- 1 egg
- vanilla sugar
- lemon zest
- butter for cooking the apples
- 1 tablespoon apple brandy
- 1 package of powdered vanilla pudding mix
- 30 g flour
- 20 g finely chopped walnuts
- 20 g breadcrumbs
- 150 ml apple juice
- 175 g mixed berries: raspberries, strawberries and blackberries
- sugar to taste
Preparation
Beat the softened butter with the sugar and egg, add the quark, a pinch of salt, vanilla sugar and lemon zest. Sauté the apple cubes in butter, add the brandy and reduce the cooking liquid. Once at room temperature, season the apple cubes with a pinch of cinnamon and mix with the quark. Finally, add flour. Leave the dough to rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. In the meantime, chop the walnuts and mix them with the breadcrumbs. Toast the bread and nuts in a pan with a little butter for a few minutes and leave to cool on a plate. Make small dumplings and cook them over low heat for 8-10 minutes in lightly salted boiling water. Remove the dumplings from the water with a skimmer and roll them in the walnut and breadcrumb mixture. For the berry sauce, mix the apple juice with the powdered vanilla pudding mix and cook in a pan, add the berries and leave to simmer for a few minutes. Finally, let the berry sauce cool and serve with the dumplings… and with a smile!
Astrid’s Tip:
Instead of the berry sauce, you can also serve them with a delicious apple icing. Enjoy!
