It might be used to indicate a person who is quite feeble and old or just someone who has very common manners.
Actually the origins of this term from its association together with dessert and with food must have come from Latin term “bona fama” which means something that has a good and nice reputation. To correlate it with this recipe’s name, then this dish must really be great for it to have that great reputation.
“Pommes Bonne Femme”
Ingredients:
6 pcs apples (cooking apples; Pink Lady)
3 tbsps butter; softened
3 tbsps sugar (brown)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c raisins (opt.)
1/4 c heavy cream
Jelly (Red Currant)
Almonds; slivered & toasted
Instructions:
Apples should be washed and then cored but left whole. Use those corer gadgets but if you don’t have one then your paring knife can work quite well too. Just be sure to use it really carefully. Leave skins on your apples and don’t take off their peel because the peel will be the one to hold your apples as they cook inside your oven.
Put your apples side-by-side inside your baking pan/dish and set it aside. Inside a bowl, mix together raisins, cinnamon, sugar and butter then spoon this mixture right into your apples’ center where the apple core was.
Add in 2 tbsps of water into your baking pan/dish then bake inside your oven for about 1 hr. at around 400 deg. F or just ’til apples become soft. If you’re using the larger kinds of apples, they might take a bit longer to cook. When serving, just drizzle your heavy cream & any leftover sauce from your dish onto your apples then place a dollop of jelly then some of your toasted almonds on top.
