Method
- Break the cinnamon sticks into small pieces. Put in a saucepan with the milk, cream and sugar, and cook over a low heat. When bubbles start to appear and the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat and leave for 1 hour for the flavours to infuse.
- Soak the leaf gelatine in cold water for 10 mins until softened. Meanwhile, reheat the cream. Squeeze the excess liquid from the gelatine. Pour the cream through a sieve into a bowl, discarding the cinnamon sticks. Then stir the gelatine into the warm cream until dissolved. Lightly oil 6 individual 200ml dariole or jelly moulds. Divide the mixture between the moulds and then chill in the fridge overnight or until set.
- To make the caramelised apples, melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the apples and cook for 5 mins until they start to soften (add a splash of water if necessary to stop them drying out). Sprinkle over the sugar, orange zest and ground cinnamon and stir. Pour on the Calvados or brandy and 5 tablespoons of water, then cook for 2 more mins until the sauce is syrupy and thick. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and leave to cool for a while.
- When ready, dip the moulds in hot water to loosen the panna cotta, or run a knife around the edge. Invert onto a serving plate, then spoon the warm (but not hot), apples around and serve.
