Instructions
Apple compote
Mash the vanilla seeds with a little of the sugar, then put it in a saucepan together with the apples, the rest of the sugar, the water and the empty vanilla pod.
Simmer the apples until tender, about 15-20 minutes, then let the compote cool completely in the fridge.You can mash the compote with a fork if you like - but do leave some texture in it.
Crumble
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture comes together in small clumps.
Spread it out on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 200°C for about 15-20 minutes. Then let it cool completely.
Trifle with apple and crumble
Put all the ingredients for the mascarpone cream in a bowl and whisk them together quickly. The cream thickens very quickly because of the lemon juice, so whisk it only lightly. It should be soft and creamy.
Assemble the desserts in two rounds of layers – crumble, apple compote and mascarpone cream, then crumble, apple compote and mascarpone cream again.
Decorate with edible flowers if you like, and serve.
