I don't know the recipe, but I would just slice some nice apples of a sweet variety (Fuji, Honeycrisp etc), then drizzle a some kind of coulis (cherry or cranberry), perhaps with a hint of balsamic vinegar. Garnish with a bit of flaky salt and mint leaves.

when he says "melted butter" what he means is butter melted with a heat source and brought to a rolling boil in order to separate the milk solids and fats (the process of making ghee or clarified butter). The "melted" butter he is using in the video is just butter that is softened and left out at room temp. The fats and milk solids have not yet been separated, so it doesn't matter.
