Preparation
Peel the apples, halve them and remove the core.
Bring the water, apple juice, bay leaf, and star anise to a boil in a saucepan. Add the apple and reduce the heat. Poach the apples for 15 minutes, or until just tender. Remove the apples from the liquid and drain on paper towels.
Return the heat to high and reduce the liquid by half. Remove the bay leaf and star anise. Set aside. Combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water in a bowl. Add it to the liquid in the pan and let it thicken.
Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan until golden brown. Add the honey and rosemary and let them caramelize. Combine the heavy cream with the mascarpone. Mix the bay leaf (ground) with the sugar.
Place each apple on a deep plate and spread the mascarpone cream and the liquid from the pan over it. Sprinkle the caramelized walnuts and rosemary over the apples and garnish with the herbs from the liquid. Finish with the bay leaf (ground).
