Ingredients

  • 1 lemon juice (Juice of 1 lemon)
  • 1 orange juice (Juice of 1 orange)
  • 750 g apples (Peel, core, quarter, then slice into chunks)
  • 50 g honey
  • 50 g oats
  • 0.5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 40 g roasted hazelnuts (Chopped)
  • 300 ml double cream
  • 2 tbsp whisky
  • 200 g blackberries (80 g are mashed and swirled into the cream; use the remaining berries, crushed and whole, for layering and topping)

Steps

  1. 1

    Squeeze the lemon and orange into a large bowl. Peel, core, and quarter the apples, then slice them into chunks and toss them in the citrus juice.

  2. 2

    Transfer the apples and juice to a saucepan and stir in the honey.

  3. 3

    Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften into a compote. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Toast the oats in a dry frying pan over medium-low heat, stirring until lightly golden.

  5. 5

    Add the brown sugar and stir until it melts.

  6. 6

    Add the chopped hazelnuts for the final minute of toasting.

  7. 7

    Tip the oat and hazelnut mixture onto baking paper and leave to cool.

  8. 8

    Whip the cream to soft peaks.

  9. 9

    Fold the whisky into the whipped cream.

  10. 10

    Crumble the cooled oat and hazelnut mixture. Fold three quarters into the cream, reserving the rest for the topping.

  11. 11

    Mash 80 g of the blackberries, then gently swirl them through the cream to create a ripple effect.

  12. 12

    Layer the apple compote, some crushed and whole blackberries, and the oat and whisky cream into four glasses.

  13. 13

    Finish with the remaining blackberries and the reserved oat and hazelnut crumb.

Notes

The description does not specify exact cooling times for the compote or toasted oat mixture; allow both to cool completely before using.
