HYBRID CARAMEL CREME BRULEE APPLE
Steps:
- For the creme brulee: In a medium saucepan, bring the cream, sugar and vanilla bean to a boil. Add the egg yolks and continue to cook, whisking until slightly thickened. Remove the pan from the heat, strain and set aside for later use.
- For the caramel: Stir together the milk and sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. (Make sure the liquid only goes three-quarters of the way up the sides, as it will froth when the baking soda is added.) Add the vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon stick and vanilla bean with seeds if using. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, constantly stirring, and bring to a boil, about 15 minutes. Keep your eyes on the pot-- it boils over easily and quickly! Quickly remove from the heat and add the baking soda to the pot. The mixture will rise and become frothy, just keep stirring the mixture.
- Return the pot to medium heat, and stir frequently, about every 10 minutes. Make sure the milk stays at a gentle simmer rather than a raging boil, and stir across the bottom of the pot to make sure the mixture is not scorching. Adjust the heat as needed. Cook until the milk starts to turn golden brown, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and the vanilla pod. At this point, it will start to thicken quickly, so it's important to keep stirring so the milk doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan. Keep stirring until the mixture is a rich brown and thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, 15 to 30 minutes.
- Cool the sauce slightly and then pour into an airtight container. Store the mixture in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Using a melon baller, hollow out the crab apples. Fill the centers with the creme brulee and bake until the creme brulee is set. Chill overnight.
- Reheat the caramel until soft enough for dipping. Dip the stuffed apples using a stick or fork. Chill for 1 hour before serving.

CARAMEL CREME BRULEE
This recipe comes out perfect every time and it's always a crowd-pleaser! A torch works best to get the sugar caramelized while keeping the rest of the custard cool. You may want to use more sugar to create a thicker, more even crust on top. -Jenna Fleming, Lowville, New York

Steps:
- Place apples in a microwave safe container; cover with water.
- Pad 9x 13 pan with wet towel.
- Cover apples with wax paper and microwave on HIGH for 1 and half minutes; drain well. Don't wash container yet.
- In medium saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; stir in cream.
- Heat over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan; stirring constantly. Do NOT let boil.
- Meanwhile bring 4 cups water to low boil. Center oven rack. PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees. Put drained apples back into reserved container and stir in the 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Arrange apples in the bottoms of six 4 ounce ramekins or custard cups. (They will be very full.) Divide the caramel topping between ramekins. I use 1 teaspoon and small rubber spatula and sure that when I put that teaspoon in it is closer to one tablespoon. Set ramekins aside.
- Back to custard: Remove saucepan from the heat; mix vigorously a small amount of the hot mixture into already beaten egg yolks. Temper.
- Slowly return all to the pan; mix vigorously.
- Stir in vanilla. Skim off bubbles.
- Pour over caramel sauced ramekins. Again pop any bubbles.
- Place 5 ramekins in 9X13 inch metal pan, put on oven rack, ladle hot water to pan so it comes halfway up. Careful that none of water splashes on ramekin. Add last ramekin.
- Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes or until centers are just set (mixture will slightly jiggle but center should be quivery like gelatin when cups are gently shaken). And some dark spots occur which gets camouflaged by caramel topping later. Remove from oven-- carefully. Time varies because diameter of ramekin determines thickness.
- Remove ramekins from water bath using tongs after 20 minutes, set on rack to cool to room temperature or 1 hour to avoid condensation.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight, or up to three days.
- For broiling, place ramekins on a baking sheet; let stand at room temperature of 15 minutes or freezer for 5 minutes. Put oven rack as close to broiler as possible. Preheat broiler.Sprinkle remaining sugar not Splenda (or you will have a fire) onto each custard, shake off excess. Broil until sugar is caramelized. Let set for at least 5 minutes before serving. I prefer them chilled for about 30 minutes--love the contrast in texture.
- Or use kitchen butane torch.

CARAMEL APPLE CINNAMON BUNS
Balance the sharp flavour of apple with the sweetness of caramel and a tangy soft cheese icing to make these toffee-apple-inspired cinnamon buns

Steps:
- Prepare the dough for the buns the day before you want to bake them, if you have time - this will develop a better flavour. Warm the milk in a pan until steaming but not boiling. Add the butter and swirl the pan for 1-2 mins until the butter has melted and the milk cooled slightly. It should be just warm.
- Put the flour in a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the yeast and sugar to one side of the bowl, then ½ tsp salt to the other. Whisk together, then pour in the warm buttery milk. Mix until the ingredients form a soft dough (it should be a little sticky), then tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand for 8-10 mins, or keep the stand mixer going for 5 mins or so. The dough will feel stretchy and soft when it's ready - you should be able to pull it apart without it breaking straightaway (this means the gluten has been developed). Lightly oil a bowl, add the dough and cover. Leave to rise at room temperature for a few hours, or until the dough has doubled in size. Or, chill overnight.
- To make the apple filling, cook the apples, butter, sugar and 1 tbsp water in a pan for 5-10 mins until soft and sticky. Add a splash more water if the pan looks dry or the sugar starts to burn. Leave to cool.
- If the dough has been chilled, take it out of the fridge 30 mins before shaping. For the cinnamon butter, mix the butter, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together with a pinch of salt. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape into a rough rectangle, then roll out until it's about 50 x 40cm. Spread the cinnamon butter over the dough and all the way out to the edges. Spoon over the apple filling.
- Working from one of the longer sides, roll the dough up as tightly as you can into a sausage shape. Cut into 12 equal pieces. To easily do this, first cut the dough in half crosswise, then cut each half into three pieces, then halve each piece. Line a large round baking dish or cake tin (about 33cm) with baking parchment. Arrange the buns, cut-side up, in the dish or tin. Make sure the tails of the buns (where the dough opens) are tucked in towards the middle of the tin, so they don't unfurl when baked. Leave some space around each bun, as they will expand as they prove. Cover loosely and leave to rise for 30 mins-2 hrs (depending on how hot your kitchen is) until the buns are puffed up and touching at the sides. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Bake for 35-40 mins until golden. Check the buns after 25 mins - if they still look a little doughy at the centre but the edges are burning, cover with foil and continue baking. Leave to cool in the tin while you make the icing.
- Mix the soft cheese, icing sugar and cinnamon together. Spread over the buns while still slightly warm, so the icing drips into the swirls of the buns a little without melting completely. Loosen the caramel with a drop of milk, if needed, then drizzle over the icing. Leave to set for 30 mins before serving.

APPLE CINNAMON CRèME BRULEE RECIPE

Steps:
- Total: 1 hr 30 min Prep: 30 min Cook: 1 hr Yield: 6 servings Peel and core apples. Cut into bite sized chunks. Cook the apples in the cinnamon, 1/4-cup sugar, and water. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes until tender, but not mushy. Set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk egg yolks and 6 tablespoons sugar. Whisk until light yellow. Add vanilla. While whisking, gradually pour in whipping cream. Divide apples evenly into 6 ramekins. Ladle cream mixture evenly over the apples. Place ramekins in a baking dish.

Remove from water and chill overnight in the refrigerator. Sprinkle sugar on top of creme and then torch until golden brown.
For the best results, use fresh, crisp apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice.
Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the apples. They should be in a single layer so that they can brown evenly.
Cook the apples over medium heat until they are tender but still hold their shape.
If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can caramelize the sugar by placing the ramekins under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes.
Let the crème brûlée chill for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
###Apple cinnamon caramel crème brûlée is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
