Baked apple, soy caramel, crumble and cream
"A wonderfully flavoursome dish from the caramelised apples to the organic oats and completely natural honey," says Shannon Debreceny.

Ingredients

  • 200 gm (2¼ cups) rolled oats
  • 75 gm honey
  • 40 gm unsalted butter, melted
  • 40 gm brown sugar
  • 3 dried dates, thinly sliced
  • 8 roasted almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 200 gm caster sugar
  • 20 ml whisky
  • 3 tsp soy sauce, or to taste
  • 6 Granny Smith apples, coarsely chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • To serve: double cream

Method

Main

    Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat, scatter sugar over and cook until a light caramel forms (4-5 minutes), add 200ml water (be careful as hot caramel will spit) and stir until dissolved (2-3 minutes), add whisky and soy, stir to combine, add apple, stir to coat well and simmer until apple softens (3-6 minutes). Divide apple mixture among six 300ml ovenproof bowls and keep warm.
  • 3
    Spoon almond topping over apple mixture and serve with double cream.
