VEGAN POMMES À LA SÉVILLANE

[Vegan Apples Braised in Butter, Orange Sauce - a hot or cold dessert]

...it's odd...but Julia doesn't say anything at all about this dessert...
...so let's get started...peel some golden delicious apples...and core them and put them in acidulated water...ie., with Lemon Juice...
...ok...a couple of things...it's only the Man and me for dinner...so I'm making ours in little fireproof ramekins...and I 'broke' my apple trying to core it...so I quartered it...and cut the core out...and it fits in the little pyrex cup perfectly...
...sprinkle with sugar and put a teaspoon of vegan butter in the center...
...add some white wine...
...and cover with a buttered round of waxed paper...and bake taking care that the liquid doesn't boil dry...keep them just at a simmer for 25 - 35 minutes...
...while the apples are baking...peel an organic orange with a vegetable peeler...and then cut that into thin strips....
...boil for 10 to 12 minutes...
...and dry...
...by now...your apples should be done...
...they're just soft...and smell delicious just like this...and there's still quite a bit of liquid/juice in the cup...
...mix the orange peel with some current jelly and cognac...and spoon that over the apples...
...and make some white bread canapes...Julia says to make rounds...but I went with long triangles as it fits my single servings better...
...they were cute and delicious...
...the buttery triangle canapes were perfect...it was like a citrus-y apple tart...and we were supposed to serve this with cream poured over...and I actually had cream in the fridge...but completely forgot to take it to the table with the dessert...

...but it was totally perfect just like this...
