Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (preferably tart varieties like Granny Smith or Bramley)
- 100 grams Sugar
- 60 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs (preferably coarse or homemade)
- 50 grams Butter
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 200 milliliters Whipping cream
- 15 grams Powdered sugar (optional for whipped cream)
Instructions
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apples, sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and slightly broken down. Set aside to cool.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir and cook for 8-10 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crisp. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a mixing bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. If desired, add the powdered sugar while whipping, for a slightly sweeter cream.
Assemble the dessert in a trifle dish, individual glasses, or a serving bowl. Start with a layer of apple compote, followed by a layer of the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat the layers until all the components are used, ending with breadcrumbs on top.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few fresh apple slices.
