Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two small pots
  • two small bowls
  • oven

Ingredients

Units Scale

APPLE PIE ROLLS

  • 8 filo pastry sheets
  • 1 apple
  • 150 milliliter apple juice
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 15 grams white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • pinch of salt

CARAMEL CINNAMON SAUCE

  • 75g white sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 20 grams butter
  • 75 grams heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

VANILLA SAUCE

  • 150 grams heavy cream
  • 150 milliliter full-fat milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • pinch of salt

MILK CRUMBLE

  • 30 grams full-fat milk powder
  • 50 grams all-purpose flour
  • 30 grams powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 25 grams butter
  • 45 grams white chocolate

Instructions

  1. For the apple filling, dice the apples and add them to a pot with apple juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples are soft. Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp of cold water, then stir it into the apple mixture. Bring to a quick boil until it thickens, then remove from heat and let cool.
  2. For the caramel-cinnamon sauce, heat sugar and water in a pot until it reaches 170°C (340°F) and turns a light golden caramel (about 10–15 minutes). Remove from heat and carefully stir in butter and cream – it may clump, but just keep stirring. Add a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, mix well, and let it cool.
  3. For the milk crumble, combine milk powder, flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix with your hands until crumbly. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake at 140°C (285°F) for about 10 minutes. While it bakes, melt the white chocolate. Once the crumble is baked, transfer it to a bowl, drizzle the melted chocolate over it, and stir until it forms larger clusters. Set aside.
  4. Next, prepare the vanilla sauce. You can find the recipe here.
  5. For the filo rolls, place a heaping tablespoon of the apple filling on each sheet of filo dough. Fold in the sides, roll them up, and seal the ends with a bit of water. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush them with melted butter, and bake at 180°C (355°F) for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. To serve, pour the vanilla sauce onto plates or bowls, cut the filo rolls into three pieces each, and arrange them on top of the sauce. Drizzle with the caramel-cinnamon sauce and finish with milk crumbles. Enjoy!

  • Yield: 8-16 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • small pot with lid
  • food processor
  • pie dish
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • electric mixer
  • tall container
  • vegetable peeler
  • can opener

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 300 grams biscoff cookies
  • 140 grams butter, room temperature
  • 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 250 grams heavy cream
  • 30 grams powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • You can buy ready-made dulce de leche or order it online, but it’s also easy to make at home ahead of time. Just grab a 400g can of sweetened condensed milk, remove the label, and place the can in a pot. Fill with enough water to completely cover the can, then bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2 hours and 30 minutes. Be sure to keep the can covered with water the entire time – if the water evaporates, just add more. After the 2.5 hours, pour off the water and let the can cool completely before using the dulce de leche inside.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Use a food processor to blend the Biscoff cookies and softened butter until they’re crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into a pie dish, covering the bottom and sides completely. Chill the crust in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, slice the bananas evenly and sprinkle with a little lemon juice to keep them from browning. Place the banana slices in the fridge until you’re ready to use them. Next, pour the cold cream into a tall container, add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, and whip until stiff peaks form. Chill the whipped cream in the fridge until needed. Prepare the chocolate shavings by running a vegetable peeler along the narrow edge of a chocolate bar. Set the shavings aside.
  3. Open the can of dulce de leche and take the crust out of the fridge. Spread the entire can of dulce de leche evenly over the crust.
  4. Take the banana slices out of the fridge and arrange them over the dulce de leche so that the entire surface is covered.
  5. Now, take the whipped cream and spread it evenly over the bananas. Finally, sprinkle the chocolate shavings on top for decoration.
  6. Serve the pie immediately or keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

  • 2 fine sieves
  • oil bottle
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pink grapefruit
  • 250 milliliters avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Zest the grapefruit, making sure no white pith is attached. Separate the grapefruit flesh from the white skin. Discard the white skin, and add the zest and flesh to the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until only tiny pieces of the grapefruit are visible.

  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and let it sit for about 20 minutes so that the oil gets more infused.
  5. After the 20 minutes, pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  6. Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
