Last week I was in Paris again for five days, and I must say that I love the city again as before and even more. And Paris has a magic atmosphere specially in winter. It is autumn now, but it was a winter feeling, almost christmas like. And I was more than ever inspired by the restaurant scene. For lunch I went to traditional brasseries and restaurants, ordered a paté en croute, a sancerre white wine and enjoyed the time . The dessert menu( tarte tatin, creme brûlée , baba au rum) I had only to read for being happy. This time at home I made a apple speculoos crumble, which is not really french , but with speculoos taste it is a real parisian cult. You can accopagnie it by a cassis sorbet with creme de cassis, for me another french essential ingredient.
Recipe
- 4 apples, peeled, cored and cut in small pieces
- 2 tbsp frozen raspberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp crème de cassis
- 200 g flour
- 80 g brown sugar
- pinch of salt
- 100 g butter
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp paté de speculoos
Mix the apples and raspberries with the sugar and crème de cassis and put on four ovenproof dishes. Mix the rest of the ingredients with your hands to get a crumbly consistence and divide onto the apples. Bake in the at 190° preheated oven for about 40 minutes.
