Wild Pepper Isle

Pepperberry apple

A super simple recipe that serves to showcase pepepberry in a healthy finger food snack. It is a quintessential Tasmanian dish with the best apples the Apple Isle has to offer combined with out very own Tasmanian pepper. 

Cooking time: none
Preparation time: 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 or 3 fresh quality apples 
  • 2 or 3 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon pepperberry – finely ground
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional)
  • mint as garnish (optional)
  • equipment: sharp knife, chopping board, serving plate, and a large bowl.
  • tooth pick or skewer if you want to do the fancy pants apple garnish pictured.

Method

  1. If you would like to do the pictured apple rosette follow this link: I found it quite simple and fun to do.
  2. Once you’ve done your apple rosette drip some lemon juice over it to prevent it from going brown. Place it in the centre of your serving dish. If you want to use mint as a garnish then consider laying that down first.
  3. Prepare the apple slices. Core your apple and cut slices as pictured – about 1 cm thick or as desired. One large apple should fill your plate. To prevent them from going brown place them in a large bowl and cover with lemon juice water: add lemon juice and water at a ratio of 1 cup of water to two table spoons of lemon juice. Soak for 10 minutes. This should prevent browning for some hours.
  4. Now place apple slices around your serving plate and add a pinch of sugar to each slice (optional). Using a pepper grinder or mortar and pestle apply pepperberry directly on to apple slices. Test a few to get you eye in as far as quantity goes. I like to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the lemon and pepper bite but it is totally optional.
  5. Serve with gusto!
