Apple recipe favourites

I bought some cooking apples the other day with the intention of making an apple pie.

However, as I'm on holidays I've decided that's not adventurous enough and would like to try something new for a change of pace.

So, does any one have a apple recipe (main course or dessert) that they can recommend to try - except apple pie!

I was looking at Apple cheesecake recipes on allrecipe but they have weird American processed foods on there that aren't available here so that was a non starter.
I really don't like preprepared stuff, cheese is as preprepared as I go, unless i've cooked it, its not the same for me!

I presume apple crumble is too normal too? I do have a lovely recipe for a Danish apple cake. I need to find out the exact amounts though.

Apple crumble sounds lovely - haven't had that in ages!
It doesn't have to be anything mad, just not apple pie which I've made loads of times.

Danish apple cake sounds nice too, do please share both recipies.

For a really nice crumble topping;
6oz flour, 4oz butter, 4oz porridge oats, 4oz brown sugar
Rub in butter and flour then stir in the rest. Halve these amounts if you're making a little one.

If you're tired of apple crumble/pie filling, try stewing your apple with sultanas and brown sugar.

I make single serve apple crumble in a non stick frying pan on the hob.

Make up a topping, the one above sounds good. I rub it up and then fry it gently in the pan until golden brown, then dump out the crumble into a bowl. Now cut the apples into chunks or slices (I use eating apples as they already have the sugar and do not go too mushy). I fry them off in a little oil, slices are easier to get evenly cooked since you can turn them just once. When soft I put the topping back on.

I make my apple crumble with the above crumble recipe minus the oats (much too healthy in my opinion)and I'm afraid I do it by feel, till it looks like the right sort of crumbs.

Stew the apples a bit then chuck on crumble topping (adding cinnamon and maybe a couple of cloves, though watch out for these later when eating) bung in a hot oven for about 20 mins, eat with whipped cream (it melts so nicely).

Apple cake I have to do a bit of research on as it's in a handwritten cookbook which has no order to it.

I serve apple crumble with Custard Cream - stir 1 part whipped cream into 2 parts ready-made custard. Yum

My son had apple creme brulee recently and said it was delicious. I don't have a recipe but you could look it up if you like the idea.

Stuffed baked apples.

Wash and core the apples and stuff with a mixture of either mince meat or
rasians, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey/golden syrup warp in tin foil and bake.

serve with custard or cream.

Update on the AWOL apple cake recipe. Someone has moved the homemade recipe book, so this weekend will be dedicated to searching for it. (It also contains the recipe for the nicest layer cake ever)
