The Apple Crumble Cake (6 to 8 guests)

Autumn in a pastry: our Gâteau Croustade aux Pommes, a refined take on the great comforting classic. Five elements, one harmony: An oat sponge, tender and rustic. A Granny Smith apple compote, bright and tart. An oat and cinnamon crumble, for crunch and warmth. A vanilla bavarois, airy and enveloping. A blond chocolate décor, caramelized and indulgent. Made by our pastry team in our Chocolate Atelier in Greenfield Park, on Montréal's South Shore, in small batches. Available only for pickup at the Atelier: the fresh textures (mousses, creams, crunchy layers) don't travel well. Seasonal edition: available while supplies last. Serves 6 to 8. The Atelier is open every day from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and is located at 1420 Victoria, Greenfield Park, Quebec, J4V 1M. Phone: 450-466-7940.
