Instructies

- Afterward, peel and cut them into 1/4-inch slices.
- In a small skillet, place the apple rounds and add enough apple juice to cover them.
- Bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the apples are crisp-tender.
- Drain the apples and set them aside.
- Wipe clean the skillet.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat, add the mushrooms, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the mushrooms become tender.
- On each of 8 small individual plates, place 1 tablespoon of spiced applesauce and top it with a piece of mushroom.
- Add a slice of pâté, cut to the size of the potato slices, followed by a slice of potato and a slice of apple.
