INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Once upon a kitchen, there was Apple Crumble…

Picture a cozy apple crumble, fresh and warm. Its golden-brown, cinnamon-kissed top teases your senses. The sweet smell of baked apples promises flavorful joy. Each bite reveals tender apples under a crumbly layer, with a buttery crunch. To make it even more special, imagine a silky vanilla sauce generously poured over, creating a rich, creamy magic. The sauce enhances the apple sweetness, creating a luxurious harmony. Each spoonful is like a warm hug of sweetness and nostalgia.

How to serve
To serve your delightful apple crumble, scoop generous portions onto plates while it’s still warm. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. The contrasting temperatures create a heavenly experience. If you prefer a simpler approach, a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce also works wonders. For a cozy touch, consider serving it with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

How to store
When it comes to storing apple crumble, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps preserve its freshness and flavor. Before refrigerating, let it cool to room temperature. To reheat, use the oven for a few minutes to regain its warmth and crispiness. Alternatively, you can microwave individual servings for a quick fix. Just remember, while it can be stored, apple crumble is at its best when enjoyed freshly baked.

Recommended Equipment

Mixing bowl

Cling film
Cheese grater
Baking tin 20×20 cm (8×8 inch)

}

ACTIVE: 20 min

PASSIVE: 18 min

COOKING

1. Place the soft (not liquid) butter, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer for approx. 3 minutes until creamy. Add the flour and mix until the butter is coated in flour. Then knead with your hands until smooth.

2. Wrap the dough in a layer of cling film and shape into a square. Place the dough in the freezer for approx. 1 hour.

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Now grate half the dough into flakes using a cheese grater. Put the other half back in the freezer.

4. Spread the flakes evenly in a baking dish. Use very little pressure to spread the flakes in the tin – DO NOT press them down. Now spread the cherry jam evenly over the flakes.

5. Now take the second half of the dough out of the freezer and grate it into flakes using the cheese grater and spread it evenly over the jam. Again, only spread the flakes with very light fingers and do not press down.

6. Bake for approx. 15 to 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F) or until the shortbread is light golden but not brown. It is best to take them out of the oven when they are lightly golden, as they will bake a little longer anyway. Leave the shortbreads to cool and cut into strips.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

You know that feeling when a dish just makes the meal? This fruity, tangy, and slightly spiced sauce does exactly that. Whether you’re hosting a big holiday gathering, elevating a simple roast dinner, or looking for the perfect pairing for your appetizers, this recipe is your go-to for adding a pop of flavor and elegance to any plate. It’s absolutely divine with my Fingerfood Beef Wellington, bringing out those rich, savory notes, and pairs beautifully with my Cranberry Orange Glazed Pork Roast for a show-stopping main course. It’s classic, cozy, and totally irresistible, making every bite feel festive and full of love. Bonus? It’s ridiculously easy to whip up.

How to serve
Pair this zesty goodness with roasted meats like turkey, pork, or ham for a perfect balance of sweet and savory. It’s also a surprising win drizzled over creamy brie or slathered on a crusty sandwich. Looking for a quick appetizer? Serve it with crackers, a wedge of sharp cheese, and nuts for a crowd-pleasing snack board. It’s versatile enough to go beyond holiday feasts – any time you want a hit of bold, fruity flavor, this sauce has you covered.

How to store
Keep it fresh by storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to three months – just thaw in the fridge overnight when needed.

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Take your event to the next level with these mini beef wellingtons, as a symphony of flavors unfolds with every bite, seamlessly blending mushrooms, Parma ham and a touch of Dijon mustard. This exquisite combination offers a sophisticated taste sensation in each delicious, finger-friendly parcel – perfect for adding a touch of gourmet flair to your party or event.

Present these delicious Beef Wellington finger foods at your Christmas party or on Christmas Eve, for example. These beef bites can be enjoyed on their own or with my spicy Cumberland sauce for an extra festive kick. With their delicious flavors, these canapés will enhance your Christmas party and are an irresistible and perfect addition to your festive table.

How to store:

To ensure optimum freshness, keep Beef Wellington wrapped in plastic wrap, beeswax cloths, aluminum foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. If you plan to store them for longer, freeze them in an airtight container, making sure to separate the layers with parchment paper. When you’re ready to enjoy the Wellingtons, reheat them in the oven to keep the batter crispy. Defrost frozen Wellingtons in the fridge before reheating to ensure they retain their delicious texture.

INGREDIENTS

FOR 16 PIECES

Mushroom Filling

1 shallot
1 tbsp butter
180g mushrooms (1.5 cups)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp fresh parsley
3 tbsp port wine (or any other red wine)
salt
pepper

individual ingredients

1 store-bought puff pastry
200g beef fillet (7 oz.)
100g prosciutto di parma (3.5 oz.)
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 egg
salt
pepper

}

ACTIVE: 10 min

PASSIVE: 0 min

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

sharp knife
chopping board
food processor if necessary
small bowl
small pan
kitchen basting brush

Cut the mushrooms into very small pieces with a knife or chop briefly in a food processor.
Cut the shallot into very small pieces or chop briefly in a food processor.
Finely chop the parsley.
Cut the puff pastry into 16 equal pieces.
Cut or tear the Prosciutto di Parma into 16 equal pieces.
Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk it together.

}

ACTIVE: 25 min

PASSIVE: 10 min

COOKING

1. Fry the mushrooms in a pan without adding any fat so that the water can evaporate and the mushrooms do not become mushy and brown. Once the mushrooms are lightly browned, add a tablespoon of butter to the pan.

2. Secondly fry the finely chopped shallot in the pan with the mushrooms and melted butter until soft. When the onions are soft, deglaze everything with 3 tablespoons red wine and reduce for approx. 5-8 minutes. There should be no liquid left on the bottom, but everything should be absorbed into the mushrooms. Next, add the chopped fresh parsley, dried thyme and salt & pepper to taste to the pan. Set the mushroom mixture aside.

3. Now sear the fillet of beef very briefly on all sides in a pan with 1 tbsp butter. Remove the meat from the pan and cut into 16 equal pieces. Set aside.

4. First place the Prosciutto di Parma on the individual pieces of puff pastry so that the edges of the pastry are still visible around the ham. Next, place approx. 1/2 tsp of the mushroom mixture on each piece of ham. Then place a piece of beef fillet on top of the mushroom mixture. Brush the fillet of beef with a little mustard. Now roll up the pieces and seal the ends.

5. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and place the Beef Wellington finger food in the fridge until then.

6. When the oven is preheated take the Beef Wellington Finger Food pieces out of the fridge and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Make diagonal incisions in all the pieces and brush with the beaten egg.

7. Finally bake in the oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside. If the pieces of meat are very thin, it cannot be guaranteed that the meat will be cooked medium. But even if the meat is not medium, it will be very tender and fall apart in the mouth. My Cumberland sauce goes wonderfully with this.

NOTE: The calorie information may vary depending on the product used, country and region.
