Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slash apple in several spots and place it in a small baking dish. Sprinkle oil on top. Bake until apple is very tender and wilted, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool, peel and core apple. Reserve flesh.
  2. Fill a large pot with water, season generously with salt, and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook until very tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and transfer to a food processor. Add half the apple and three tablespoons of butter. Process for 3 to 4 minutes, occasionally scraping down sides with a spatula; puree should get smoother and silkier the longer it processes.
  3. Adjust seasoning, adding more apple, butter or salt as desired; there should be just a hint of sweetness from the apple. Transfer to a serving dish, and serve hot.
