Prepare the Apple Compote: In a small skillet, melt 1 tbsp Butter over medium heat. Add diced Apples, Maple syrup, and Cinnamon. Cook until apples are softened and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the Maple-Sage Cream: In a small bowl, whip Heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in Maple syrup and chopped Sage. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prepare the Cornbread Fritters: In a large bowl, whisk together Cornmeal, Cake flour, Granulated sugar, Baking powder, Baking soda, and Sea salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Apple cider, Egg, Bourbon, and browned clarified Butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat about 1/2 inch of Grapeseed oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with a dollop of Maple-Sage Cream and a spoonful of Apple Compote.
