½teaspoonagar-agar powder, (I use Telephone brand)
Instructions
Peel, core and dice apples. Add to a saucepan with water, sugar, lemon juice and a bay leaf. Cook over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender, but still with some texture.
Discard the bay leaf and spoon the apple mixture evenly into four small jars or ramekins.
For the cream layer, add everything to a saucepan and stir to combine over medium-low heat. Simmer for five minutes, stirring often, to activate the agar-agar.
Discard the bay leaves and lemon zest, then pour evenly over the apple layer in your jars or ramekins. Pop in the fridge for an hour to set, or make them ahead of time.
