Servings: 4 people

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Pots and Pans

Ingredients

  • 100 g Sugar White
  • 3 tbsp Water Tap
  • 50 g Butter Unsalted
  • 1 Sheet Puff Pastry Defrosted

Soaking the apples

  • 1 Lemon Juiced and with peel
  • 3 Pink lady apples quartered
  • Water Tap

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 190C
  • Make a solution with water, lemon juice and peel (enough to cover all the apples)
  • Peel the apples, cut in half then take off the eye of the apple and cut into quarters. Place them in the lemon water mixture until needed
  • Heat a pan on medium heat, place the sugar and water
  • Let it simmer on a medium fire, until it turns brown and caramelised. this might take some time to turn brown
  • Once the sugar is caramelised and dark brown in colour, add in the apples and cook on low fire until the apples are a bit soft and the caramel is glazing the apples. ( Note when the apples are added the caramel will become liquid but keep cooking the apples in the caramel until reduced and thick)
  • Either in the same pan or a separate tray or pan arrange the apples as you wish ( see video)
  • Cut the puff pastry same diameter as the pan ( use the pan as a guide to do this) Note puff pastry needs to be defrosted.
  • Add rest of the caramel on the apples and place the puff pastry on top of the apples, and tuck the sides in, so the apples are well secured inside
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 mins
  • Cool down for 5 minutes and turn it upside down, serve warm.
