  • Hello Chef Eileen : Yes you're right, I'm french and a great fan of pommes reinettes. I don't know where you leave in the US, but if you are maybe in a not too hot state you can plant a reinette tree? (it's rather unexpensive here, and easy to buy).Good and yummy recipe of your crumble stuffed apple, maybe you could also try with almond cream?

  • Now, after reading your recipe Les Pommes au Four I must be convinced that you are French, so all the more exciting to become acquainted with your cuisine site. I was amazed at the peeling of your apples, and I adore, absolutely, reinettes. We don't have these in the US but I get an apple here, similar, the Stayman Winesap, a very old style apple similar to yours, but alas still not the same. I was dreaming of reinettes just last week. I make an apple recipe at my bed and breakfast which I made up after much street-wise study of the "crumble" in France. I simply wash the apples, dry well and core. Then I make a traditional crumble recipe using the demerrera sugar, flour and unsalted butter, however, I add a dash of sea salt also. I stuff the center of the apple with the crumble. Then I bake for 1 hour and serve with creme anglaise. I must say, that the peeling of the apple would assist in a more delicate consumption of the dish, but I also adore the color of the skin and believe it holds in the moisture of the apple while roasting, similar to the skin of the chicken. Happy Cooking!
