INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cooking apples cored, quartered, then quartered again.
  • 25 g butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Caster Sugar If you can find it, use golden which imparts a much more caramel-ly flavour than regular caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp Brandy Apple brandy would be great, I happened to use my homemade quince brandy because that was all I had, regular would also be fine.
  • 2 Croissants large
  • 4 scoops Ice cream Vanilla or Caramel flavour.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Melt the butter in a saute pan until it starts to gently sizzle.
  • Add the apple slices.
  • Cook until starting to go golden on each side, no more than five minutes.
  • Add the sugar and brandy, let it all whoosh up and coat the apple pieces.
  • Cook gently for another couple of minutes.
  • Meanwhile, split the croissants and warm under a hot grill, do not toast though.
  • Pour the bronzed and sticky apples over the split, warmed croissants and put a couple of scoops of ice cream on each half.
