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 actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
