1/2 cups Firmly Packed Light Brown Sugar

1 ounce, fluid Spiced Rum
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon

1
For the Panna Cotta:
2
Pour whipping cream into a medium saucepan and lightly sprinkle gelatin over the top. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and heat over medium-low heat (do not boil). Whisk until brown sugar and gelatin have dissolved.
3
Whisk in sour cream, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour 1 cup of mixture into each glass or bowl.
4
Note: panna cotta is traditionally served free-standing, and therefore if you have small molds you can use those. I used glasses for ease.
5
Refrigerate panna cotta for at least 4 hours, but up to overnight is fine.
6
For the Apple Compote:
7
In a large saucepan, combine water, sugar, vanilla, rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture slightly thickens, around 5 minutes. Add apple cubes and return to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally until apples are tender and mixture thickens, around 20 minutes.
8
Remove from heat and place in a bowl in the refrigerator until panna cotta is ready to serve.
9
*Add approximately 1/2 cup compote mixture to the top of each panna cotta and serve!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
