Apple and Maple Verrines are a celebration of classic Canadian flavours. With layers of sweet apple compote, creamy maple-flavoured yogurt, and a crunchy granola topping, this dessert is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. Perfect for a festive occasion or a simple family dessert, these verrines offer a delightful balance of sweetness and tang, with a hint of warm cinnamon that enhances the natural flavours of the apples. The maple syrup adds a rich, earthy sweetness that pairs beautifully with the tart apples.

Instructions

Prepare the apple compote

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 10-15 minutes until apples are tender and the mixture thickens slightly.

Pro tip: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Cool the compote

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the apple compote cool completely before assembling the verrines.

Mix the yogurt

In a bowl, stir together Greek yogurt and maple syrup until well combined and smooth.

Pro tip: Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup.

Assemble the verrines

In each serving glass, layer 2 tablespoons of apple compote, 2 tablespoons of maple yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of granola. Repeat the layers.

Pro tip: Clear glasses work best to showcase the beautiful layers.

Chill the verrines

Refrigerate the assembled verrines for at least 1 hour to allow the flavours to meld.

Pro tip: Cover with plastic wrap to prevent the granola from softening.

Serve

Serve chilled, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

Pro tip: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra aroma.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these verrines ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the apple compote and maple yogurt in advance. Assemble the verrines just before serving for the best texture.

What type of apples should I use?

Use crisp and slightly tart apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best results.

How long should I chill the verrines?

Chill the verrines for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavours to develop.

Can I use flavoured yogurt?

It's best to use plain Greek yogurt to control the sweetness and let the maple flavour shine.

Is it necessary to peel the apples?

Peeling the apples gives a smoother texture to the compote, but you can leave the skin on for added fibre and texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these verrines chilled, allowing the layers to settle and the flavours to deepen. They pair wonderfully with a warm cup of coffee or tea. For a make-ahead option, prepare the apple compote and granola in advance and assemble the verrines just before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to two days, ensuring they remain covered to maintain freshness.
