Step 1
Pour the 2 cups heavy cream into a shallow baking dish, about 1 inch deep. Place it in a cold oven.
Step 2
Turn the oven to 180°F (80°C) and heat for 12 hours, until a golden crust forms on top and the cream is thick and wobbly.
Step 3
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool completely, about 30 minutes. Do not stir.
Step 4
Spoon the thick clotted cream into a serving bowl, leaving the watery whey behind. Slice the 1 apple into thin wedges and serve alongside.
