  1. Add the peeled, cored, and diced apples to a heavy pot and add the sugars, cinnamon, pinch of salt, and corn starch and cook until the apples are tender.

For the Créme Anglais:

  1. Combine milk and cream in a heavy medium saucepan. Add vanilla and bring milk mixture to simmer. Remove from heat.
  2. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in the hot milk mixture into the yolk mixture.
