Ingredients :
1 brioche
3 kg apples - Cox's Pippins or Golden Delicious are best

25g gelatine powder, or 9 leaves
500g apricot jam

Mix the gelatine powder with water in a bowl, or dissolve if using leaves. Pour in half a glassful of hot (not boiling) water and mix thoroughly to dissolve gelatine. Mix gelatine into apple mixture.

Cut brioche into about 10 triangles, and about 10 rectangles the same height as the cake tin you plan to use.
