Ingredients

Caramel sauce

  • 160 g Sugar, brown

  • 1 bag Sugar, white

  • 60 g Butter, unsalted

  • 2.5 dl Sweet cream

  • 4 pieces Apples, rose

  • 20 g Butter, unsalted

  • 4 pieces Spices, cinnamon, ground

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Wash and dry the apples with a kitchen towel. Using a round cutter (you can also use a spoon or knife), remove the stems and cores from the apples. Be careful not to pierce through the apples.

  2. Arrange the apples in a smaller deep baking dish lined with parchment paper (or well-greased with butter). Place a piece of butter in each cavity, then insert a cinnamon stick into each apple. Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are completely soft inside.

  3. While the apples are baking, prepare the caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, mix regular sugar, vanilla sugar, butter, and cream. Place the saucepan on the stove and slowly heat the mixture over medium heat. Stir until the sauce comes to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 4 minutes.

  4. Serve the baked apples on plates, pour the prepared sauce over them, and serve the dessert immediately.
