Ingredients
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich flavour)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich flavour)
- 1/3 cup 35% whipping cream
- 1/2 cup 35% whipping cream
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 1 large red apple (ideally Cortland, Empire or Lobo), unpeeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- About 1/2 of an angel food cake, home-made or store-bought
Method
- Put 125 ml (1/2 cup) maple syrup into a saucepan and boil for 5 minutes.
- Add the 80 ml (1/3 cup) of cream and melt the butter. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, stirring.
- Remove from heat, add the diced apple, and let cool.
- In a bowl, whip the 125 ml (1/2 cup) of cream with the 15 ml (1 tbsp) of maple syrup and the vanilla. Place in the fridge.
- Cut the cake into slices about 6 mm (1/4 in.) thick, then use the verrine glasses to cut it into circles*.
- Put the maple-whipped cream into the verrine bottoms, add a layer of maple-apple sauce, then a cake circle. Repeat these steps, then top with the whipped cream and sauce.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
* For 6 verrines, cut 12 circles; for 8 verrines, cut 16 circles.
