Directions
Form pastry into ball; wrap in waxed paper; refrigerate. On waxed
paper, combine 2 tablespoon sugar & the cinnamon. Pare and core
apples; roll in cinnamon-sugar; reserve any left over. Preheat oven
to 450 degrees. Butter 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan. On lightly
floured pastry cloth, roll pastry into a rectangle 30 by 4-1/2
inches. With pastry wheel or knife, cut lengthwise into 4 strips.
Starting at the top, 1 inch from center, spiral a pastry strip around
each apple, over- lapping slightly, covering completely. Moisten
overlapping edges with cold water; press edges to seal. Press sides
and bottoms of pastry against apples. Place in baking dish, sides not
touching. Spoon melted butter into centers. Brush pastry with egg
yolk mixed with 2 teaspoons water. Sprinkle with reserved
cinnamon-sugar. Bake 15 minutes; reduce oven to 350 degrees. Brush
pastry again with egg yolk. Continue baking dumplings 20 to 30
minutes longer, or until apples are tender when pierced with knife
and pastry is crisp and golden. Meanwhile, make cranberry-apple
sauce: In medium saucepan, combine cranberries and sugar. Mash
cranberries slightly with spoon. Add maple syrup and 1/4 cup water;
mix well. Bring to boiling, stirring, about 3 minutes, or until
cranberries pop. Add chopped apple and butter. Bring to boiling;
reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Remove apples to serving
dish. Spoon sauce over top and around base of each. Serve warm with
vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Makes 4 servings. Source: Mc

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times used many different aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise for example basil, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the East, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes caused a surge in recipe books, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
