Apple Tiramisu
For this apple version of tiramisu, we first make an apple crisp to sprinkle over the top, then dip the cookies in reduced apple juice.
The result is a tiramisu that's still very creamy, but with a deliciously pronounced apple flavor.

Remarks
If this is a recipe for adults, you can add 2 or 3 tablespoons of "Manzanita" Spanish apple liqueur to the reduced, cold apple juice, as the green apple flavor it brings is a perfect match for the recipe.
As an alternative to spoon cookies, if you can find any, I recommend Savoiardi Italian cookies.

Noisette butter
"Noisette" means hazelnut in French. Noisette butter is made by melting butter, then boiling and raising it to a high temperature until it takes on both a light brown hazelnut colour and also a characteristic nutty smell. Compared with simple clarified butter, this noisette butter has a delicate yet distinctive flavour which is a welcome addition to both savoury and sweet recipes (particularly in cakes and pastries).
