Ingredients

  • FOR THE PANNA COTTA:
  • 2-1/2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 package Unflavored Gelatin (~2 1/2 Tsp)
  • 1/2 cups Firmly Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • _____
  • FOR THE APPLE COMPOTE:
  • 4 whole Apples, Peeled, Cored And Diced (I Used Golden Delicious And Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/4 cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ounce, fluid Spiced Rum
  • 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg

Method

  • For the Panna Cotta:
  • Pour whipping cream into a medium saucepan and lightly sprinkle gelatin over the top. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and heat over medium-low heat (do not boil). Whisk until brown sugar and gelatin have dissolved.
  • Whisk in sour cream, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour 1 cup of mixture into each glass or bowl.
  • Note: panna cotta is traditionally served free-standing, and therefore if you have small molds you can use those. I used glasses for ease.
  • Refrigerate panna cotta for at least 4 hours, but up to overnight is fine.
  • For the Apple Compote:
  • In a large saucepan, combine water, sugar, vanilla, rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture slightly thickens, around 5 minutes. Add apple cubes and return to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally until apples are tender and mixture thickens, around 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and place in a bowl in the refrigerator until panna cotta is ready to serve.
  • *Add approximately 1/2 cup compote mixture to the top of each panna cotta and serve!
