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

  4. 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.
  5. Cut the cake into slices about 6 mm (1/4 in.) thick, then use the verrine glasses to cut it into circles*.
  6. 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.
  7. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

More about Maple

Maple syrup comes in four classifications, according to colour and taste.

At the start of sugaring season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years.

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

100% pure maple butter contains no butter or dairy.

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple butter comes from the sap of the maple tree… and that’s all.
