This delicious recipe for caramelized apples with sponge cake and bananas is perfect for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself. I will guide you step by step through each stage, so you can achieve a truly impressive and flavorful dessert.
Start by preparing the caramel. In a deep pot, add 14 tablespoons of sugar and place the pot over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure that the sugar melts evenly and the caramel turns golden. When the sugar has completely melted and starts to take on a nice golden hue, quickly spread it on the walls of the pot to form a crispy crust. Let it cool until it starts to crackle.
Meanwhile, prepare the apples. Peel and core them, then slice them into thin rounds. Arrange them in the caramelized pot in two layers. For the first layer, place a piece of butter in the center of each apple round, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Repeat this procedure for the second layer of apples. After completing this step, place the pot in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees Celsius, and let it bake for 25 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the cream. In a large bowl, mix well 7 tablespoons of sugar with 750 ml of milk, 7 eggs, and vanilla essence. The resulting mixture should be homogeneous. After the 25 minutes of baking the apples, carefully pour this cream over the caramelized apples and leave them in the oven until the cream sets, about 20-30 minutes.
Once the cream has set, prepare the sponge cake mixture. In another bowl, beat 5 eggs with 5 tablespoons of sugar until a fluffy foam forms. Gradually add 5 tablespoons of flour, vanilla essence, and a pinch of baking powder. Gently mix until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. Pour this mixture over the apple cream and bake for another 30 minutes, until the sponge cake turns golden and fluffy.
When the dessert is ready, let it cool in the pot, then carefully invert it onto a platter. Slice the bananas into thin rounds using a sharp knife to give them a nice shape. Arrange them evenly over the cooled dessert. Prepare the gelatin according to the package instructions and carefully pour it over the bananas to hold them nicely in place. Finally, decorate with plenty of whipped cream, adding a sprinkle of cocoa or grated chocolate for an extra touch of refinement.
Serve this wonderful dessert at room temperature or slightly chilled. It is a true delight for both the eyes and the taste buds. Enjoy!
