Required ingredients

- 1 cup of strawberries (about 200 g)
- 1 cup of milk (or 1 strawberry Actimel yogurt for a creamier version)
- 1 banana
- 1 red apple
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 3 tablespoons of regular sugar
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 egg
- 1 vial of vanilla essence
- 1 vial of rum essence

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preparing the apples: Start by washing the red apple under a stream of cold water. Cut it in half and remove the core. Slice it very thinly so that it caramelizes evenly. Drizzle the slices with lemon juice to prevent oxidation and maintain a vibrant color. Then, sprinkle the 3 tablespoons of regular sugar over them, gently mixing to coat evenly.

2. Caramelizing the apples: Heat the Doubletta pan over medium heat. Add the apple slices along with the sugar and a splash of rum essence. Arrange the slices around the edge of the pan in a flower pattern to create an attractive look. Let them caramelize for about 5-7 minutes until golden and soft.

3. Preparing the filling mixture: In a bowl, mash the banana with a fork or a masher. Add the milk or strawberry yogurt, the 2 packets of vanilla sugar, vanilla essence, and flour. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Finally, beat the egg and incorporate it into the mixture above.

4. Assembling the dessert: Once the apples are caramelized, pour the banana and milk mixture over them, covering the apple slices evenly. Place the other pan on top to create an optimal baking environment.

5. Baking: Allow the dessert to bake for 10-15 minutes. Then, using a support, carefully flip the two pans so that the top side is now in contact with the bottom of the pan. Continue baking for another 5-7 minutes.

6. Serving: The dessert is ready when the bottom is browned and the apple slices have a caramelized appearance. You can serve it warm or cold, according to your preference. Add a touch of elegance with fresh banana slices and a dollop of mascarpone cream, garnishing with pitted cocktail cherries for a special taste and appearance.

Useful tips

- Choosing ingredients: Opt for fresh apples and seasonal strawberries for the best flavor. Frozen strawberries can be used, but they will slightly change the texture of the dessert.
- Texture: If you prefer a less moist dessert, you can reduce the amount of milk or yogurt.
- Variations: Experiment with other fruits, such as peaches or pears, to give a personalized touch to your recipe. You can also replace the mascarpone cream with vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.
