Reinette potatoes roasted in sweet cider and gingerbread, brown sugar


Ingredients:4 people
  • nice size pippin apple
    6
  • Gingerbread
    3 slices
  • fresh cream
    30 cl
  • sweet cider
    50 cl
  • sugar cubes
    6
  • butter
    80g
  • rod sugar
    100 g


Preparation:
  • Preparation time:10 minutes
  • Cooking time:40 minutes


  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (th. 6). Wash and core the apples in an apple corer without peeling them, widen the edges a little with a spoon to be able to garnish them. Introduce half a slice of crumbled gingerbread into each apple.
  • Arrange the fruit in a roasting pan.
  • Add the crème fraîche, cider and sugar cubes. Place a knob of butter and a teaspoon of brown sugar on each apple.
  • Bake it. Bake them for 30 to 40 minutes, until tender. Baste during cooking with their juice.
  • Serve warm with their cooking juices.
  • Accompany with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

In hot weather, I serve them cold with a quenelle of vanilla ice cream and Chantilly cream. It's a treat.

Vergeoise sugar is the residue from the refining of beet sugar or cane sugar, which gives it a soft consistency, golden or brown in color. It has a special flavor. It is very popular in the North for making pastries and desserts.
