We don’t know if we should qualify this recipe as an appetizer or a dessert, but it’s what it makes its charm! The sweetness of apple and pumpkin blend perfectly for an unexpected seasonal association.

1. Wash and drain the pumpkin. Cut into pieces and place in a saucepan. Cover with cold water, add salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 20 minutes at a simmer. Drain and mix in you blender. Remove and let cool.
2. Cut the apples in half and remove the core. Chop into small cubes. In a skillet, melt a knob of butter. Cook the diced apples for 5 minutes. Stir regularly. Remove and allow to cool. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Whip the very cold cream to obtain a whipped cream. (whipped cream recipe here). Salt slightly to finish.
4. Pour each mixture in verrine glasses. Top with whipped cream and place an almond. Your verrines are ready!
Tips:
- It is not necessary to peel the squash and apples.
- To succeed in making a whipped cream, it is necessary that the cream is very cold. Beat it in a cold bowl that you have placed in the refrigerator or in the freezer one hour before. Place your whisk in a cold place too! While beating the cream, you can place the bowl on a plastic bag filled with ice cubes to maintain it.
