Sautéed apples with custard Recipe

Sautéed apples with custard Recipe

  • 1 apple, peeled, cored and sliced into 4 pieces
  • 30g/1oz butter
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • 5 tbsp milk
  • 5 tbsp double cream
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 free-range egg
  • 1 free-range egg yolk
  1. For the sautéed apples, heat the butter in a small frying pan and gently cook the apple pieces for 4-5 minutes, or until beginning to turn golden-brown.
  2. Add the raisins and cinnamon and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until the apples are softened and caramelised. Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir to combine.
  3. For the custard, place the milk and cream into a saucepan and bring up to the boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  4. Place the egg and egg yolk and the sugar into a bowl and mix well. Gradually pour the milk and cream over the egg mixture, then return the mixture to the pan over a gentle heat. Stir constantly until the custard starts to thicken. When it coats the back of a spoon, remove from the heat and pour through a sieve into a jug or bowl.
  5. To serve, place the apples onto a plate and drizzle over the custard.
