Preparation time: 30 minutes | Cooking time: 10 minutes | Serving: 4

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Peel and dice the apples. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add apple pieces, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Caramelize on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the apples are tender and coated in caramel.
2. In a bowl, whisk the mascarpone with the vanilla sugar until smooth. In another bowl, whip the cream into firm peaks, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
3. In verrines, layer caramelized apples followed by a layer of mascarpone cream. Crumble the speculoos on top. If using large verrines, repeat the layers.
4. Sprinkle with grated dark chocolate and add some crumbled speculoos for crunch.
5. Refrigerate the verrines for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
