How To Make Älplermagronen with apple sauce

  • 1
    Heat the oven to 100 °C (212 °F)
  • 2
    Boil potatoes in a saucepan without lid for 5 minutes. Add Älplermagronen (Macaroni) and cook them “al dente” until the liquid is almost absorbed.
  • 3
    Pour cream over the potatoes and Macaroni, season to taste. Alternating with cheese, place the Älplermagronen in layers into the dish. Top with cheese. Bake approx.10 minutes in the center of the preheated oven until the cheese has melted.
  • 4
    Melt the butter. Mix onions and flour, shake off extra flour Fry in the butter(amount wasn't specified, but I would start with 2 tablespoons and add more as needed) at medium heat for about 5 minutes until crisp Place onions on paper towels and keep warm
  • 5
    Quarter the unpeeled and uncored apples. Boil quartered apples with water with sugar, lemon peel and juice in a covered saucepan at low heat until soft. Strain apples and liquid through a sieve directly into a bowl. Cool the applesauce.
  • 6
    Serving: Spread onion rings on the Älplermagronen and serve with applesauce
