Alpine Macaroni
With Apple Slices
"Älpler Magronen" served with apple sauce is as typically Swiss as the holes in Emmental cheese. This delicious Alpine specialty found its way from high up on the mountain to the valley below many years ago.

350 - 400 g firm cooking potatoes
150 g macaroni
200 g tasty alpine cheese, coarsely grated
100 g butter
1 - 2 medium sized onions
freshly ground pepper
Sliced apple
1 tbsp butter
600 g apples
1 cinnamon stick
2 tbsp concentrated pear juice
150 ml cider
Preparation
1. Peel, quarter, core and cut apples into slices. Lightly braise in butter, add cinnamon, concentrated pear juice and cider. Cook until tender.
2. Peel potatoes and cut into medium sized cubes.
3. Cook potatoes and macaroni in salt water until tender, remove with a perforated ladle, layer with alpine cheese into a preheated dish, keep warm. Cut onions into thin rings, fry in butter until brown, spread over the macaroni.
Hint
In certain regions a dash of milk or cream is added to the cooking water.
