Apple trifle

(Serves 4-6)

Ingredients

  • 1kg mixed apples
  • 100-150g granulated sugar, plus 2 tbsp
  • 200g stale sourdough bread or regular white bread
  • 3½ tbsp salted butter
  • 200ml double cream
  • Red sorrel leaves or mint leaves, to serve

Method

  1. Core and cube the apples, place in a saucepan and set over a medium heat. Cook until bubbling, then reduce the heat and add the sugar, starting with 100g (½ cup).
  2. Taste; if you want to add more sugar, do so, but it should not be too sweet. Now leave to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring now and then to give a lumpy sauce. Leave to cool.
  3. Cut the bread into cubes. Melt the butter in a frying pan and toss in the croutons to toast, sprinkling with the 2 tbsp of sugar, until they caramelise. Leave to cool.
  4. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Choose 4-6 glasses. Spoon in alternate layers of apple sauce, cream and croutons and decorate with sorrel or mint leaves.
