📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Äppelchen am Schlofrack has the charming name 'little apple in a nightgown.' Cored apples are filled with raisins and cinnamon sugar, wrapped entirely in pastry, and baked. Made in Luxembourg homes in the cold season, they're served with vanilla sauce.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Luxembourg home in winter, round apples snugly wrapped in pastry come out of the oven and warm vanilla sauce is poured over.
