It was one of those days when I didn’t have any time nor energy to bake a cake. In times like these I peek into my pantry, take a jar of Nutella and eat it with a spoon. Oh, those glorious times. But sometimes, I take a slight effort to make a simple dessert like this one.
I have a box of beautiful organic apples, ready to be used. So I took a few and turned them into this simple seasonal dessert. The same can be made with pumpkin and I’m sure it would be great as well.

I am wondering what type of apples you recommend? Cortland? Granny Smith? Honey Crisp?
Hey Charles!
Tart apples (like Granny Smith) will brighten the mousse and contrast nicely with the cream, honey, and cinnamon.
Sweeter apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala) will give a more mellow, dessert?apple flavor—less need for sugar or strong spices.
Something in between—like Cortland or Golden Delicious—balances sweet and tart, so the mousse tastes complex without any one flavor dominating.
Or… maybe a mix!?
I also am wondering about how much boiling water?
Hello. I was wondering if the apple mousse would work well as a center filling for a wedding cake.
How much boiling water do you recommend using? Enough to cover?
