Day 45: Julia's Canap'es

Menu:
Leftovers For Dinner

Dessert:
Pommes A La Sevillane
(Apples Braised in Butter, Orange Sauce)

Just the canap'es alone were so simple that I had to make it difficult. Canap'es are nothing more than the center of a slice of white bread cut out with a biscuit cutter and then sauteed in butter. That's it. Once the canap'es were made the rest seemed easy but was a bit of effort. The apples were peeled and cored and then filled with sugar and butter. I simmered and baked them. When they were tender I took the juice that they baked in and added currant jelly until it made a syrupy type sauce. I added simmered orange peel and then what seemed to be a lot of cognac. The apple was placed on top of the canap'e and then the syrup was drizzled over all. I did eat mine with some cream. It was really good and very different than any dessert I have ever had. Not my favorite but it was good.
