Caramel Baby Toffee Apples
250ml Sugar
1 ¼ cup Milk
1 Tin of Baby Apples
Method: Place sugar in a pot over medium heat, wait till sugar melts. When sugar is melting swirl the pan but do not stir. Once all the sugar has caramelised dip the baby apples in the caramelised sugar and set on wax paper to harden. Warm the milk in the microwave and return the caramelised sugar back to the heat. Add milk and stir while keeping the caramel on the stove let it cook for about 10 – 15 minutes. Set aside.
Spiced Apple Tartlets
1 Tin Pie Apples
1 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Nutmeg
¼ cup Brown Sugar
1 roll Puff Pastry
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Put the above in a pot and cook over moderate heat till sugar and cinnamon and nutmeg has made a syrup that coats all the pie apples. Remove from heat and set aside to cool down. Cut the puff pastry in squares 12cm x 12cm. Place some of the apple filling on the square and fold puff pastry to for a triangle. Place on a baking tray and bake till golden brown.
Serving
Place tartlets on the plate. Using a teaspoon put some caramel on the plate and place caramelised baby toffee apples on place and serve with custard.
