Vanilla-Poached Apples
Whole peeled and cored apples gently cooked in vanilla-scented sweetened water, then carefully lifted and drained for use in a dessert.
Method
Steps
Step 1
Wash the six medium firm Braeburn apples, then peel and core them carefully, keeping each apple whole.
Step 2
Place all six apples in a saucepan that accommodates them and the two quarts of water with room for careful movement. Add the measured water, four ounces of sugar and half a vanilla pod. Bring gently to the boil, carefully moving the liquid until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Cook at a very gentle boil for about thirty minutes, turning the apples carefully as needed. Start checking before the end and lift each apple when a small knife enters the flesh easily while the fruit remains intact; adjust the cooking time to the actual apples.
Step 4
Lift carefully with a skimmer without breaking the apples and let excess liquid drip away on a clean food-grade rack over a tray. Remove and discard the used vanilla pod. Use the whole apples immediately while warm.
