Apple Creme Brulee Recipe!

 

Serves 6

 

Ingredients:

4 apples, peeled and cut into large dice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon lemon rind, finely grated
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed, then sifted

Directions:

1 In a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan, combine apples, Crispin, Spartan or Empire Apples can be used, sugar, cinnamon lemon rind and nutmeg.
 

2 Cook over medium heat, until apples softened, stirring occasionally about 10 minutes. Spread this mixture into six, 6 ounce heatproof ramekins, and chill.
 

3 In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with sugar.
 

4 In the saucepan that you used for the apples, heat cream, until just before boiling, scraping down the apple bits and spices on the pan into the cream mixture.
 

5 Whisking constantly, pour in the egg mixture, and continue stirring until thickened, about 20 minutes.
 

6 Do not let it boil.
 

7 Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
 

8 Strain evenly onto the chilled apple mixture in each ramekin, and let cool.
 

9 Let cool overnight.
 

10 At least 1 hour before serving, and up to 1 day ahead, sprinkle custards with brown sugar.
 

11 Broil for 1 to 2 minutes until sugar melts and colours.
 

12 Chill until ready to serve.
