A 16th century German apple tart from the 1553 cookbook written by Sabina Welserin.
Peel the apples, slice them and roast them, cut the cores cleanly out. Chop them small beforehand and put beef marrow thereon and grated bread crumbs. Stir it together well, stir into it also cinnamon, sugar and raisins and let it bake.
My Redaction
For the dough use recipe #70 Making the tart crust.
Peal, halve, and core 3 tart apples (I used granny smith), place apples on a baking sheet in an oven set to 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until they are dry to the touch, dice the apples. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons and mix with 1 cup of breadcrumbs, a pinch of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of sugar. Coat the still warm apples with the breadcrumb mixture. Place filling in the center of your dough. Cover with second circle of dough, wet edges and press them together. Cut slits into the top. Bake at 375 until golden, about 18-20 minutes.
