Lady Apples in Apple Ice Wine Gelée

Apple ice wine gets its particular sweetness and deep golden color from frozen apples: The presence of water crystals during pressing increases the sugar content of the resulting wine. Canada produces more ice wine per year than any other country. Sophisticated-looking and intensely apple-flavored, this seasonal dessert is delicious on its own or as a complement to the maple walnut bûche de Noël.

Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 4 1/4 hr (includes chilling)

Cooks' note:

Apples can be chilled up to 3 days.
