Rosemary Parfait with Caramel Apples

Bring 40 ml of water with 2 tablespoons of raw cane sugar to the boil so that the sugar dissolves completely. Roughly cut the sprigs of rosemary and add to the boiling sugar water, let it simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the stove and deglaze with the cream. Put the cream in a closed container in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day: Separate the eggs, beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff. Strain the cream over a sieve and also beat, but not too hard, the consistency should be rather creamy.

Put the egg yolks in a whipping kettle, add 2 tablespoons of raw cane sugar, also the Cointreau and stir everything well. Now place the whipping kettle on a saucepan with boiling water. The boiler should never reach into the water, it should only be surrounded by water vapor.

Now whip the eggs really nice and creamy, it should result in a nice creamy consistency. When that happens, put the whipping kettle on a bowl of ice water and keep beating the cream until it is cold - that goes very quickly.

Then put the egg cream in a larger bowl and fold in the whipped rosemary cream and the egg whites one after the other. Then beat out a parfait mold with cling film, fill in the mixture, smooth it out, put the lid on and off with it in the Forster, at least 12 hours.

Peel the apples, remove the core and cut into wedges. Melt the butter in a pan, then add the sugar and stir. When the sugar has dissolved and a light brown caramel has formed, add the apple wedges and let them caramelize for about 3 minutes while turning.

Then deglaze with the cider and reduce over medium heat until a very thick syrup has formed that has wrapped itself around the apple slices really nicely. Now season with fleur de sel. Then pour into a bowl and let cool down.

20 minutes before serving, take the parfait out of the freezer and place in the refrigerator. Then overturn the parfait, peel off the foil and cut the parfait into slices and arrange on dessert plates together with the caramel apples.
