ORANGE AND CINNAMON POACHED APPLE WITH FRESH RASPBERRIES

Steeped in gastronomic history, poached pears have graced dessert tables and restaurant menus since medieval times. The Chenot culinary team has reimagined this simple classic as a breakfast treat, using the apple as the star. Delicately poached in an orange and cinnamon syrup we put the humble apple centre stage, nestled on a swirl of sweet sauce and garnished with tart fresh raspberries.
