Desert - Apple Cake with Burnt Sugar Cream by Georgiana O. - Recipia

In a tall-sided saucepan, we patiently toss the sugar, ensuring it melts evenly without burning. This is the base of our recipe, and the caramel will give an unmistakable taste and wonderful texture to the final dish. Once the sugar has transformed into a liquid mass with a shiny golden hue, we begin to coat the sides of the saucepan with this caramel, allowing it to cool and harden. It is essential that this step is done precisely, as a well-made caramel will add a sophisticated note to our dessert. Meanwhile, we take care of the delicious filling. In a large bowl, we add fresh milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla essence. We mix with a spatula or whisk, ensuring that all the ingredients are well incorporated and that the sugar has completely dissolved. The aroma of vanilla will provide a delightful fragrance that will fill the entire kitchen. After obtaining a homogeneous mixture, we turn our attention to the apples we previously sliced thinly. They should be well arranged in the prepared saucepan, covered by the layer of caramel. After adding the milk and egg mixture over the apples, it is time to put everything in the oven. If we want to achieve a finer and creamier texture, we can opt for the water bath baking method. This step will ensure even baking and prevent cracks from forming on the surface of the dessert. We leave it in the oven until the cream sets, and the enticing aroma will begin to delight our senses. Once the cream has hardened, we carefully pour the batter over it, which will add a slightly fluffy texture to the dessert. We continue to bake until the batter is well-cooked and takes on a golden hue. Once the dessert is ready, we let it cool completely so that the flavors settle and blend perfectly. With the help of a platter, we carefully invert the dessert, admiring the shiny layer of caramel waiting for us. To add an extra touch of flavor, we decorate with fluffy whipped cream, which will complement the sweetness of the caramel and apples. This combination will make the dessert not only a pleasure for the taste buds but also a visual feast. Enjoy your meal!
