To complete Bubba's country report, he was to make (not store bought) a food that comes from his country and have it out at Open House to share and accent his Report. Mom's ony 2 rules: It had to meet the teachers criteria that way "we" got the extra credit points....and it HAD TO BE EASY TO MAKE!!! It's not like we have a ton of spare time just sitting around that I can slave over the stove for this...so easy was the name of the game!
Enter....a Clever Duck, a bike dude...and the World Wide Web. Both my boss, and the Director of the Bike Coalition (who share our office space at work) lived in Germany for well over 5 years, so their input was crucial to us gaining ideas of what to make! Google Search: German Food Recipes.....Results: Easy to make Apfel Strudel! Wala! We had it!
Supplies were purchased and we were ready to go! So Wednesday night, we peeled, sliced and cored Granny Smith apples (thanks to our handy dandy Pampered Chef little gadget!) and away we went with the fabulous "pre-made" frozen pastry dough! (LOVE the woman who thought up that idea!!...a mom's dream!)
ApfelStrudel was a HUGE hit at the Open House and I came back to an empty platter to take home!
Gute die Arbeit Bubba!! (good job Bubba)
Peeling, slicing and coring the apples ( Love the cherry drink mix mustache Bubba is sporting!)
Roooolllll the dough and stamp it with a "B"....Put it in the oven for Brandon and Me!
"Brushing it with slightly beaten egg will give it that golden brown look"
Just NOT a pastry without a sprinkle of Cinnamon Sugar on top!
Now...is that just too beautiful or what? Almost professional!
