What do you do with apples laying around? Poach it of course! I have been staring at these two apples on my counter for a little while now and it was probably about time to either eat it or toss it. Luckily I had some red wine at home that I used as the poaching liquid.
I poured some red wine, water and sugar in a pot and started adding some cinnamon sticks and cloves into it and brought it to a boil. As the water boiled, I peeled the apples and dropped it into the water. I was going to only serve it with some yogurt that I had added some vanilla and honey to.
As my apartment starting to fill up with the great aroma of the apples, I started craving apple pie. Then the idea of a deconstructed apple pie came to mind. This just gave me a reason to have some fun with my presentation especially that I had just bought some edible flowers to play with. While the apple poached, I made a quick crumble.
After about 20ish minutes, I pulled the apples and turned up the heat to let the poaching liquid reduce to a syrup.
For the presentation, I scooped on some of the yogurt onto the plate and did a swoop with my spoon. This formed a perfect little ditch that I filled in with the crumble and topped that off with some chopped walnuts. I tore up some mint leaves and sprinkled it on top of the syrup. This next part was the most exciting part...the edible flowers!
