The book gives 30 Borsdorf apples or 15 other large apples and 8 eggs; it gives no other amounts. We've used two fifths of the apples and half the eggs.

Method

5 soļi
  1. Peel, core and finely chop the apples. Put them in a saucepan with the wine and sugar, cover and stew gently, stirring now and then, for 10–15 minutes, until just soft but not mushy. Uncover and cook for a few minutes more if there is a lot of liquid; it should be moist, not wet. Let cool a little.
  2. Heat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and butter a 1.5–2 l ovenproof dish.
  3. Mix the ground almonds with the caster sugar, flour and egg yolks to a thick paste, then stir in the apples.
  4. Whisk the whites to stiff peaks and fold them in gently, last of all.
  5. Pour into the dish and bake for 35–40 minutes, until well risen, golden and just set in the middle. Serve straight away, warm.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

apples peeled, finely chopped, cored and stewed in a saucepan with wine and sugar until soft; sweet almonds pounded fine and mixed with as much fine sugar, wheat flour (or grated bread) and 8 yolks; the whites beaten to stiff snow and folded in last of all with the apples; poured into a buttered dish and baked. The amounts of almonds, flour, wine and sugar, the oven temperature and the times are ours.

Apples

Borsdorf (Edelborsdorfer) is an old German variety with small, firm, aromatic fruit; the book reckons two of them per large apple. Any firm, tart dessert apple (Cox, a reinette, Antonovka) works.

Variation (the book's "another way"): beat 15 eggs with half a cup of peach-kernel water, sweet milk, sugar and a little salt, and stir in finely crushed rusks; cook 12 or 15 peeled apples, cut into 8 or 16 pieces, with sugar and butter until soft; pour half the batter into a buttered mould, lay the apples neatly on top, pour on the rest and bake slowly. For 6: beat 5 eggs with 300 ml milk, 50 g sugar, a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp orange-flower water or ½ tsp almond extract mixed with 2 tbsp water (for the peach water), and stir in 100 g finely crushed rusks; leave for 10 minutes to soften. Cook 5 apples in eighths with 40 g sugar and 30 g butter for 5–8 minutes. Layer as above in a buttered 1.5 l dish and bake at 170 °C (150 °C fan) for 40–45 minutes, until set and golden.

Peach water

virsiku ūdens was probably a water distilled from peach kernels or leaves, which taste of bitter almond, used like rose water. Bitter-almond flavourings were made the same way; a little almond extract is the modern equivalent.
