Notes

  • For further detailed notes see the post above
  • Prepare the crème fraîche topping first and keep in the fridge while preparing the apples.
  • Select a variety of apple such as Braeburn, Crispin, Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smiths, Honeycrisp or any other firm cooking apples.
  • Use salted butter to enhance the flavours or if using unsalted, add a pinch of kosher salt to the apples while cooking.
  • Do not cook the apples for too long or they will turn mushy.
  • As apples vary in sweetness, you might like to taste the apple before adding sugar and adjust the quantity accordingly.
  • Do not serve immediately as the apples will be too hot. Allow to cool slightly so they are warm, then serve with a spoonful of honey vanilla crème fraîche.
  • The caramelized apples are best eaten the same day as thy may become a little mushy by the next day.
  • The honey vanilla crème fraîche may be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
