This is Nick's upmarket adaptation of the traditional Scandinavian dessert
called 'Peasant Girl in a Veil'. It is basically layers of an apple spiced
pur‚e with browned, sweetened, breadcrumbs and some whipped cream. It
sounds a very basic idea and it is! But it has a delicious simple taste
and is a cinch to make. We have adapted the apple sauce by adding spices to
Nosh it up!

The idea of this dessert is to layer the breadcrumbs with stewed apple. For
the apple sauce, cook the apple in caster sugar and lemon juice with the
cloves and cinnamon until soft but not slushy. Allow to cool (adjust the
sugar if necessary it should taste slightly tart).

Brown the breadcrumbs in the melted butter and brown sugar, until they turn
crunchy and dark brown with the sugar. Keep the heat on low to medium to
prevent burning and keep the mixture moving in the pan to prevent sticking.
Allow to cool.

Fill flute or cocktail wine glasses with alternative layers of apple and
crumbs (about half an inch thick each) and top off with some whipped cream.
