Time 4h57m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups heavy whipping cream
6 egg yolks
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
½ cup caramel dessert topping
½ cup brown sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Whisk heavy cream, egg yolks, and white sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove custard from heat when it starts to simmer. Whisk in vanilla extract and cinnamon.

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Arrange ramekins on a baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar over each custard.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until sugar is melted and crisp, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, firm apples for the filling. This will ensure that they hold their shape and don't become mushy.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the skin from toughening and the core from becoming woody.
  • Slice the apples thinly so that they cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not soften completely.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan or skillet to cook the apples. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the apples over medium heat, stirring frequently. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apples and cook until the apples are tender and the sugar has dissolved.
  • When the apples are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly before adding them to the crème brûlée batter.
  • To make the crème brûlée batter, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Bring the cream and milk to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the cream and milk are simmering, slowly whisk them into the egg yolk mixture.
  • Strain the crème brûlée batter through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. This will help to remove any lumps.
  • Divide the crème brûlée batter among the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish filled with hot water. Bake the crème brûlée for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set.
  • Remove the crème brûlée from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • To serve, sprinkle the top of each crème brûlée with sugar and caramelize it with a kitchen torch.

Conclusion:

Crème brûlée is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy custard filling and caramelized sugar topping, it is sure to impress your guests. By following these tips, you can make a perfect crème brûlée every time.
