Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Préchauffez votre four à 200°C (thermostat 6-7). Lavez les pommes, retirez le cœur à l'aide d'un vide-pomme, puis coupez-les en rondelles épaisses d'environ 1,5 cm.
- Citronnez immédiatement les rondelles pour éviter l'oxydation et disposez-les sur une plaque recouverte de papier sulfurisé.
- Dans un petit bol, mélangez le beurre fondu, le miel, le curry, la cannelle et le gingembre râpé jusqu'à obtenir une émulsion homogène.
- À l'aide d'un pinceau de cuisine, badigeonnez généreusement chaque face des rondelles de pomme avec cette préparation épicée.
- Enfournez pour 15 à 18 minutes. Les pommes doivent être tendres à cœur et légèrement caramélisées sur les bords.
- À la sortie du four, saupoudrez immédiatement avec la brunoise d'abricots secs, les amandes effilées et une pointe de fleur de sel.
- Servez tiède, présenté comme des tapas individuelles sur un plateau en bois.
