Instructions
- Peel, quarter, core and finely slice apples dropping them into a pan filled with water as you prepare (to prevent browning).
- Drain the apples and add 1 tablespoon water, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and, 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar to the pan.
- Bring pan to a simmer and stew apples gently under a lid until tender (about 10 - 15 minutes).
- Transfer stewed apples to a bowl and allow to cool.
- Whip the cream in a bowl until softly stiff, then refrigerate.
- Put the oat cookies in a bowl and crush with the back of a rolling pin until you have irregular crumbs. (Using a food processor just turns them into too fine a crumb).
- Spoon a layer of cooled stewed apple into 6 serving glasses/goblets or one large bowl followed by a layer of crushed cookies, then repeat and top with a layer of whipped cream and grated chocolate.
- Serve straight away or chill in the fridge until serving.
Notes
- If you can't get hold of Bramley apples (cooking apples) then just use all dessert apples and add a little less sugar.
- Instead of oat cookies, you can also use Amarettini biscuits, granola, or another biscuit of your choice! Ginger biscuits would be fab to ring the changes. For ease, you can prepare all the elements of this dessert the day before you need it and just put it together at the last minute before serving!
- To grate the chocolate I find a potato peeler does the best job!
- If you can't get hold of Bramley apples (cooking apples) then just use all dessert apples and add a little less sugar.
- You can easily make this dessert gluten-free by using gluten-free oat cookies which are available in supermarkets.
