Vanilla apple palet

Instructions

Almond sablé biscuit :

Soften the butter and gradually add the other ingredients, one by one, mixing each into the mixture thoroughly.

Mix the flour and the baking powder well, in advance.

Then spread between 2 sheets of baking paper, with a thickness of approximately 2 mm. 

Rest at 4°C for around 1 hour. 

Cook at 155°C until it browns nicely. 

Set aside and crumble 40 g for the recipe below.

 

Crunchy reconstituted sablé biscuit :

Toast the almonds in the oven at 160°C until they start to colour nicely. 

Slowly melt the white chocolate. 

Add the grated vanilla. 

Add the crumbled biscuit, the Gavottes, the almonds and the puffed rice. 

Mix with a rubber spatula and place inside the square log mould. Press down the biscuit mix to obtain a nice even base. 

Store in a cool place, or at 4°C.

 

Vanilla apple palet :

Ideally prepared the day before

Peel and cut the apples into fine slices using a mandolin.

Melt the butter and add the vanilla and lemon.

In the square log mould lined with cling film, lay out the apples so as overlapping and covering the surface of the mould. Coat each layer of apples with the lemon vanilla butter; keep layering up in this way.

Bake at 160°C for approximately 30 minutes.

Remove from the mould and peel off the film while hot. Cool for a minimum of 4 hours.

 

Assembly and finishing touches :

Remove the reconstituted biscuit from the mould.

Glaze the apple palet with an apple or quince jelly. 

Place it, nicely centred, on the crunchy base. 

The result
