Long and Slow Apples- French Fridays with Dorie

January 11, 2013 by Renee

Long Slow ApplesAs you know from my post yesterday, I just discovered what I had been missing for the past couple of years and how I am jumping in at the last minute to play French Fridays with Dorie where bloggers cook through her award-winning book, Around My French Table.

I am thrilled that my first assignment is dessert. Long and slow apples. This simple, elegant dessert has a very modest ingredient list, in sharp contrast to the lengthy baking time – four hours to be exact.

Slicing the apples as thinly as possible (with a mandoline or slicer) is the key to achieving the delicateness of this sweet, luscious dessert.

The apple slices are layered  in ramekins and brushed with melted butter and spiced sugar. They are then baked at a low heat for all those hours, yielding the most tender, juiciest, sweetest bites of velvety goodness.

Long and slow. The best things in life are worth the wait. And these apples are no exception.

Unfortunately, I cannot print the recipe- but you can (and should!) buy the book and cook along with us. There are just three weeks of January recipes posted on the FFWD site and I am not sure how many, if any, recipes are left in their entire schedule. But, even after their regimen ends, I plan to keep on going and cook from the book and post on Fridays until I have completed them.  Or at least until the end of 2013. Consider it my resolution.

Buy the book:

    Welcome to FFWD, Renee! What a great recipe to join with. We pick the recipes month by month. Check out the post on the FFWD site to nominate some for February. There’s also a page on the site that lists what has been done so far. Have fun!

    Welcome to the group! This recipe makes a nice introduction for you! I think we’re around halfway through the book, so there are another three years or so to go. 🙂

    Welcome to the group! We have only been at it for two years now and we have only made just over 100 of the 300+ recipes that are in there so don’t you worry about having recipes left to cook with the group! 🙂 Your apples look great!

    Welcome aboard! We are always excited to have a new “Dorista”. We are probably 1/3 to just under 1/2 way through the book, so there is plenty more to be had. (If baking is your thing, the Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Julia group just restarted last February, so there is a lot more to go on that book).

    Looks great!

    Yah! Apples! This was a great one to start with and don’t worry, we are going to be going through this amazing book for awhile now. In typical fashion I have made this assignment but have not yet posted on it. I am going to bet you that I made them again real soon! Welcome to the group Renee!

    Welcome to FFWD. The apple recipe was a big success with most of the Doristas.
    Yours certainly looks tasty and delicious. Looking forward to cooking with you,
    and yes, there are many recipes to go.

    How pretty! It doesn’t look like your apples shrunk and they are such a lovely color. Welcome to FFwD!
