Preparation

  1. Chopping dates and apricots. Combine with raisins and orange juice, then soak for 1 hour.
  2. Butter ten ramekins with the butter provided. Mix butter, brown sugar, eggs, flour, breadcrumbs, almonds, baking powder and cinnamon; combine apple and macerated fruit with their juice.
  3. Spread the dough without exceeding three quarters of the ramekins. Cover each with baking paper then pleated aluminum and fix under the ledge. Place on racks in two pans.
  4. Pour some simmering water halfway up, cover the pans and cook 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes slowly. Complete the hot water; a skewer in the center should come out without raw dough.
  5. Cool for 15 minutes and then unmold. Allow to cool completely for 2 hours. Whisk cream, mascarpone and icing sugar; place a spoonful of 20 to 25 g on each dome in a low white cap. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

Preserve and Serve

48 hours in the refrigerator after adding cream; serve fresh or barely tempered.
