Wine with food Winter apple soufflé with cinnamon, served with cream and Moscato d'Asti on a winter table setting

Winter apple casserole with cinnamon

This winter apple casserole with cinnamon is a simple but sophisticated dessert for cold days that goes perfectly with an aromatic dessert wine. Juicy apple slices are marinated with sugar and cinnamon, placed on a base of buttery pastry or soaked bread roll slices and baked in the oven until the surface is crispy and the center is soft and creamy. Vanilla, cinnamon and butter combine to create a warm, fragrant casserole that can be served with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or crème fraîche. In combination with Moscato d'Asti, it creates a harmonious interplay of sweetness, freshness and winter spice.
