How to Make Gâteau de Pommes - The Victorian Way

[Music] ah finally let me have a look picked myself mrs. croakin there won't be a bruise on and Gardens finest mmm good they'll be perfect for my gateau de pommes I hope there's plenty more in storage I plan to make a dish that requires whole apples and for that one we need all the apples to be the same size of course mrs. Coco I must get on good day to you good day mrs. broken I love this time of year the orchards are full of apples some of the apples will be put down for next year but at this time of year I like to make my favorite recipe gateau de pom or apple cheese in fact I've made a copy of it in my own cookbook for this recipe you will need sugar [Music] water apples lemons sliced almonds and for decoration custard first you need to make a syrup out of the water in sugar and then let it boil for about 15 minutes Mary Ann has already prepared the apples so I shall add them now there are many different types of apples some that are very very sweet and some that are very very sour for this recipe you need to be careful what sort you use you don't want to use anything too tart or anything too sweet and you certainly don't want to use anything that's buy especially for cooking and Nonsuch is ideal the apples need to stew down until they're like a marmalade which can take quite some time but the mix needs to be really stiff when you draw your spoon through the pan the bottom needs to be visibly dry then you add your rind [Music] let the mix cool for a little while and then line the mold now to fill the mold what I love about this dish is that once it's in the mold you can cover it with wax paper and it'll keep for weeks if you want it to keep for the winter you just seal it with paraffin it never lasts that long in this house it will now sit on a shelf in the pantry and it's perfect for those occasions when you were told there attend for dinner but there are in fact 14 now to put it somewhere cool [Music] [Music] once you're ready to serve it you need to turn it out of the mold and then decorate it the receipt says you should use sliced almonds I think they're the best thing but I'm also going to use some of these flowers from this mint because I think it's a nice contrasting color [Music] and there you are gateau de pomme or Apple cheese [Music] you
