Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Apples — Choose firm and slightly tart apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Heavy cream — Make sure the cream is cold before whipping to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Breadcrumbs — Use fresh breadcrumbs for a crispier texture. If you don't have breadcrumbs, you can crush plain cookies or graham crackers as a substitute.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cardamom over the caramelized apples.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dessert, you can add a drizzle of caramel sauce between the layers.
  • Experiment with different types of bread for the breadcrumbs, such as whole wheat or rye, to add a unique twist to the dish.
  • Serve the dessert in individual mason jars for a charming presentation.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a fresh mint leaf for an elegant finishing touch.

Serving advice

Serve the Tilslørte bondepiker chilled to fully enjoy the contrasting textures of the creamy whipped cream, caramelized apples, and crispy breadcrumbs. For an extra touch, you can dust the top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder.

Presentation advice

To create an eye-catching presentation, layer the dessert in clear glass cups or a trifle dish, allowing the vibrant colors of the caramelized apples and whipped cream to shine through. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf or a dusting of cinnamon for an elegant touch.
