Ingredients
Method
Dice the apples
Dice 500 g prepared apples. Place in a saucepan with 40 ml water, lemon juice, cinnamon and 20 g sugar.
Cook the compote
Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring. Leave some tender pieces; uncover briefly if too wet.
Cool completely
Spread in a shallow container and cool for about 20 minutes. Refrigerate while preparing cream; never layer it while hot.
Crush the biscuits
Coarsely crush 150 g biscuits in a food bag. Reserve 30 g dry crumbs for serving.
Whip the cream
Whip 200 g cold cream with the remaining 20 g sugar to soft peaks. Stop before it becomes grainy.
Fold in yogurt
Stir 300 g yogurt until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream in two additions, keeping the mixture airy.
Layer and chill
Divide 120 g crumbs, cold apples and cream among six 200 ml glasses. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Finish the cups
Add the reserved 30 g crumbs just before serving. Serve cold, one glass per person.
The step photos are illustrative.
Notes
Use spiced Spekulatius biscuits, not biscuit spread. Contains milk and wheat; check biscuits for nuts. Cool apples fully before layering. Resting time includes 20 minutes to cool apples and 2 hours chilling. Keep covered at 4 °C or below up to 2 days; add the final crumbs when serving.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make these a day ahead?
Yes. Refrigerate covered and keep the final crumbs dry until serving.
What replaces Spekulatius?
Spiced cinnamon or ginger biscuits work, with a different flavour and nutrition.
Why is the cream runny?
Warm apples, thin yogurt or underwhipped cream can loosen it. Use cold ingredients and chill fully.
