zest of 1/2 untreated lemon 1 tsp L cloves 1 tbsp L sugar 1 tsp L flour.
Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into eighths. Boil with lemon peel, cloves and cinnamon in a little water and cook at low temperature until tender, then mash.
Melt 40 g of butter in a frying pan. Add the sugar and caramelize until golden brown. Then add the flour and pour a little water. Season lightly with salt.
Stir until smooth and mix with the applesauce. Then add enough wine to make a creamy soup. Let it boil again briefly.
For the croutons, dice the white bread. Heat the remaining butter in a small pan, toast the bread cubes in it and sprinkle on the apple soup.
