Apple dessert- traditional Danish summer treat.
My husband loves this simple, old-fashioned Danish dessert. It is best eaten with just a bit of cream — and maybe even extra sugar if you like. I cannot have any, as apples are very high FODMAP. Once in a while I will make it, so I wanted to share the recipe here — simple, and obviously cooked apples are not on everyone's no-list.

Step 1
Prepare the apples and cook for 20 minutes over medium heat with the vanilla bean and water. Add the sugar and cook for another 10 minutes.

Step 2
Leave to cool, remove the whole vanilla pod and serve with chilled cream and sugar, or with macaroons.
Good to know
You can create another dessert by layering macaroons with 1 dl of sherry, then adding the apples and topping with whipped cream. That is called apple cake in Danish and was a childhood favourite of my husband's — still is, actually. For the cream I will use full-fat lactose-free cream. Do not pour tons over — a little goes a long way — or use full-fat milk instead.
