Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Prepare the cream mixture

Mix in a bowl with a whisk: 200 ml liquid cream, 3 egg yolks, 10 ml vanilla sugar and 50 ml caster sugar.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Toast the almonds

Use a small non-stick frying pan on high heat. Tip in 113.5 ml ground almonds and dry roast lightly, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula or spoon.

Stage 3

Take off the heat as soon as the almonds begin to colour slightly.

This process brings out the full flavour of the almonds.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Assemble the gratin

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Butter a gratin dish.

Peel 1 litre 500 ml apple and cut into small pieces.

Spread half the apple pieces in the dish.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Scatter the toasted almonds over the top.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Add the rest of the apples and pour the cream mixture over.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Scatter a little caster sugar on top and add slivers of butter to help the top brown.

Stage 9 - 40 min.

Cooking and serving

Cook in the oven for 40 minutes.

Serve either warm or cold, on its own or, if you can't resist good things, with a little whipped cream.

Remarks

If you wish, you can add a tablespoonful of Calvados to the cream mixture.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
