Caramel Apples with Semolina Pudding
Description
Caramel Apples with Semolina Pudding involves first gently cooking peeled and quartered Fuji apples in butter and powdered sugar until tender and caramelized to a light golden brown, then finished with Moscato wine for a subtle sweet flavor. Separately, the pudding is prepared by simmering whole milk with sugar and scraped vanilla bean seeds before slowly whisking in semolina to thicken it to a smooth consistency. Butter is added at the end to enrich the pudding.
The pudding is served hot, topped with the caramelized apple pieces and their syrup, creating a balanced dessert with warm caramel flavors and creamy texture. This combination showcases a classic comfort dessert with a refined twist by using Moscato wine and vanilla bean.

- 3½ cups milk whole
- ⅓ cup baker's sugar (ultra fine sugar)

- 3 Fuji apples peeled, cored and quartered

Instructions
For the Caramel Apples
- Melt, in a large frying pan over medium heat, the butter. Add the apples and powder sugar. Cook while tossing occasionally, until the apples are tender, and the sugar has caramelized to a beautiful light golden brown color. Add the Moscato wine and stir. Set aside.
For The Semolina
- When the apples are almost cooked, in a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the milk, sugar, vanilla seeds, and the pod. Once the sugar has dissolved, bring it to a simmer and add the semolina to the milk in a steady stream while whisking continuously. Remove the vanilla pods and discard them.
