Ingredients

  • Apples 4 (1 lb or 500 g), sour apples are recommended but at this point better not to be too picky
  • Onions 1 (the original recipe suggests ½ lb (250 g). Your call depending on how much you like onions, or more precisely, chopping onions.)
  • Apple juice ½ cup (125 ml), could be replaced with apple cider vinegar
  • Fish sticks 1 lb (450 g), (Yes, rectangular sticks of composed fish parts covered in breading that you dreaded as a child, that’s exactly what I’m referring to.)
  • Salt + pepper
  • Thyme or other herbs of choice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a medium-size casserole dish.
  • Peel and slice apples. Slice onions.
  • Combine together and season with salt, pepper and herbs.
  • Place in prepared casserole dish.
  • Pour apple juice on top.
  • Bake for 35 minutes.
  • Lay the fish sticks on top and bake for a further 25 minutes.

Notes

The Landfrauen suggest to serve this delicacy with rice and an endive salad.
