It’s mid-May, which means summer is almost here. In the UK, the weather is warming up and the sun is starting to show itself a little more frequently.

It has been a while since we have posted a pastry recipe on the blog. This is mostly because we have done a lot of the Scandi classics, and it takes a bit longer to come up some more innovative ideas.
Although it is certainly not spring weather yet here in the UK or the US, it is that time of year where we are always hoping for a bit of sunshine to peek through the dreary end of winter.
Today’s recipe is exciting to share. We won’t claim to have invented these, since they are a somewhat basic concept and I’m pretty sure others have made them before us.
If you ask us, the best filling for cakes and pastries is, undoubtedly, pastry cream. If you make it correctly, it is silky smooth with an amazing flavor and sweetness.
Is there anything more autumnal than apples? Add a few warm spices, like cinnamon or cloves, and you’ve got the simple but delicious flavors of autumn!
As we have worked on this blog, many of our recipes, while they are our own way of doing things, are not anything new. We base our blog on many baked goods and desserts that already exist.
I have to admit that the end of summer actually makes me happy. When I was in school, it was always so exciting to start a new year! Plus, I prefer autumn and winter over summer in terms of weather anyway.
As we have mentioned on our About Us page, as well as countless other times on this blog, we were born in Denmark but moved away when we were 5 and 8. That’s why today’s recipe is a fun crossover, just like us!
