HYBRID CARAMEL CREME BRULEE APPLE

Steps:

• For the creme brulee: In a medium saucepan, bring the cream, sugar and vanilla bean to a boil. Add the egg yolks and continue to cook, whisking until slightly thickened. Remove the pan from the heat, strain and set aside for later use.
• For the caramel: Stir together the milk and sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. (Make sure the liquid only goes three-quarters of the way up the sides, as it will froth when the baking soda is added.) Add the vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon stick and vanilla bean with seeds if using. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, constantly stirring, and bring to a boil, about 15 minutes. Keep your eyes on the pot-- it boils over easily and quickly! Quickly remove from the heat and add the baking soda to the pot. The mixture will rise and become frothy, just keep stirring the mixture.
• Return the pot to medium heat, and stir frequently, about every 10 minutes. Make sure the milk stays at a gentle simmer rather than a raging boil, and stir across the bottom of the pot to make sure the mixture is not scorching. Adjust the heat as needed. Cook until the milk starts to turn golden brown, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Remove the cinnamon stick and the vanilla pod. At this point, it will start to thicken quickly, so it's important to keep stirring so the milk doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan. Keep stirring until the mixture is a rich brown and thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Cool the sauce slightly and then pour into an airtight container. Store the mixture in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Using a melon baller, hollow out the crab apples. Fill the centers with the creme brulee and bake until the creme brulee is set. Chill overnight.
• Reheat the caramel until soft enough for dipping. Dip the stuffed apples using a stick or fork. Chill for 1 hour before serving.

CARAMEL APPLE CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Place apples in a microwave safe container; cover with water.
• Pad 9x 13 pan with wet towel.
• Cover apples with wax paper and microwave on HIGH for 1 and half minutes; drain well. Don't wash container yet.
• In medium saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; stir in cream.
• Heat over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan; stirring constantly. Do NOT let boil.
• Meanwhile bring 4 cups water to low boil. Center oven rack. PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees. Put drained apples back into reserved container and stir in the 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Arrange apples in the bottoms of six 4 ounce ramekins or custard cups. (They will be very full.) Divide the caramel topping between ramekins. I use 1 teaspoon and small rubber spatula and sure that when I put that teaspoon in it is closer to one tablespoon. Set ramekins aside.
• Back to custard: Remove saucepan from the heat; mix vigorously a small amount of the hot mixture into already beaten egg yolks. Temper.
• Slowly return all to the pan; mix vigorously.
• Stir in vanilla. Skim off bubbles.
• Pour over caramel sauced ramekins. Again pop any bubbles.
• Place 5 ramekins in 9X13 inch metal pan, put on oven rack, ladle hot water to pan so it comes halfway up. Careful that none of water splashes on ramekin. Add last ramekin.
• Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes or until centers are just set (mixture will slightly jiggle but center should be quivery like gelatin when cups are gently shaken). And some dark spots occur which gets camouflaged by caramel topping later. Remove from oven-- carefully. Time varies because diameter of ramekin determines thickness.
• Remove ramekins from water bath using tongs after 20 minutes, set on rack to cool to room temperature or 1 hour to avoid condensation.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight, or up to three days.
• For broiling, place ramekins on a baking sheet; let stand at room temperature of 15 minutes or freezer for 5 minutes. Put oven rack as close to broiler as possible. Preheat broiler.Sprinkle remaining sugar not Splenda (or you will have a fire) onto each custard, shake off excess. Broil until sugar is caramelized. Let set for at least 5 minutes before serving. I prefer them chilled for about 30 minutes--love the contrast in texture.

APPLE CRÈME BRÛLÉE

Steps:

• CUSTARD 1. Bring the heavy cream, milk, vanilla bean and seeds just to a boil in a medium saucepan over low heat. 2. In a bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs. Slowly whisk in some of the cream-milk mixture into the eggs, then pour in remaining cream and whisk until combined. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Cool. APPLES & ASSEMBLY 1. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring 4 cups water, the sugar, cinnamon, star anise and vanilla beans and seeds to a simmer. Cook 5 minutes. 2. Cut off the top third of each apple (making little "caps") and set aside. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each apple - just enough so that there's a flat surface and the apples are level. Using a melon baller, evenly hollow out each apple, leaving a half-inch wall around and going almost to the bottom without making any holes. 3. Place the apples (the tops and hollowed apples) in a 3-inch-deep baking pan. Put 1 tablespoon of the spice syrup into each apple and pour the remaining around the apples. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. 4. Remove the foil. Remove the apple tops from the baking pan and reserve. Pour out the liquid inside each apple. Pour the custard into the apples, filling to the brim 5. Bake until the custard is set, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the custard-filled apples from the poaching liquid and cool. Refrigerate until cold. 6. To assemble, heat the broiler. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon superfine sugar on top of each apple. Place on a baking sheet and put under the broiler to caramelize the sugar, 1 to 2 minutes. Or use a butane torch. Watch carefully so as not to burn the sugar. Place each apple on a dessert plate and serve immediately with the apple top leaning on the apple.

APPLE SPICE CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325 F and move the rack to the center of the oven.
• 2. First, start by prepping your apples. How many apples you need to peel and cut is really going to depend on the type of apples that you want to use. I like to use Honeycrisp Apples for this recipe, and it usually takes just under two whole apples.
• 3. Core, peel and cut the apples into small pieces and toss them into a skillet with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. (Or you can substitute about 1 1/2 teaspoons of "Apple Pie Spice" in place of these). Saute over low to medium heat.
• 4. As the apples are sauteed, there should not be a lot of juices or liquids, and the spices will coat each piece nicely.
• 5. Once the apples are done, spoon equal amounts into your ramekins. Make sure that they are lying in one layer and not sitting on top of each other. You're looking for just a thin layer of apples at the bottom of these ramekins. Then arrange your ramekins into large baking pans (I have a 11x15x2 cake pan that I like to use). You might need two pans.
• 6. Meanwhile, pour the cream into a sauce pan and add the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. Bring the cream to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. It will take about 10-15 minutes for the vanilla and the cinnamon flavors to infuse through the cream.
• 7. While the cream simmers, start whisking the egg yolks with the salt. Slowly add the granulated sugar.
• 8. When it's ready, slowly pour the cream into the eggs, making sure to continue whisking the entire time.
• 9. Use a spoon to scrape off any bubbles or foam that formed on top of your eggs and cream.
• 10. Ladle the custard into your ramekins over the apples. Some of the smaller chunks of apples might float up into the custard, and that's okay. I think that gives them a nice, rustic look. ***If you need to use two pans to fit all the ramekins, you can wait to pour the custard into the second "batch" until right before they are ready to go into the oven... But I have noticed that it really doesn't make much difference if you wait or pour it in and wait.
• 11. While the cake pan is sitting on the oven rack, pour hot water into the cake pan so that it fills up to about halfway up the sides of the ramekins (be careful not to get any water into the ramekins or the custard won't set correctly).
• 12. Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour. I like to start checking around the 40 minute mark. You're looking for the custards to be set, so they won't jiggle very much when you move the pan. There might be a slight, golden hue to the top of the custard.
• 13. Carefully move the custards from the water bath and into the refrigerator. Chill uncovered for 3 hours.
• 14. After the 3 hours pass, use plastic wrap to cover the custards. Make sure that the plastic wrap actually touches the top of the custard - which will ensure that no air is getting through.
• 15. At this point, you can serve whenever you're ready. The custards will keep for about a week in the refrigerator like this.
• 16. To serve, top each ramekin with 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of the turbinado sugar. You can tilt the ramekins to spread the sugar out evenly. Then, torch them. Make sure you hold the blowtorch about 2-3 inches away from the sugar - and keep it moving. *** Once you've caramelized the top, you can place the custards back into the refrigerator for up to 10-15 minutes. You really should serve them right away, though; after a couple minutes, the caramelized sugar will start to soften and you'll lose some of that crispy drama.

APPLE CREME BRULEE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Make the Crust:.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and the sugar. Add 4 tablespoons of the butter and mix. If the crumbs seem dry, add the last tablespoon of butter. Press onto the bottom of the springform pan. Press in an even layer.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The crust should be firm and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Cool the crust completely. Once cooled, wrap the outside of the pan in a heavy duty piece of aluminum foil.
• Apples:.
• Toss the apples with the lemon juice.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the apples and cook for 2 minutes, over medium heat, until the apples begin to soften. Sprinkle with sugar and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the apples soften further and begin to turn golden. Add the cream and the nutmeg and lower the heat slightly. Cook until the cream has been absorbed by the apples, about 10 minutes. Transfer the apples to a plate and let cool completely.
• Cheesecake.
• In the bowl of your mixer, beat the cream cheese for a minute or two until it's smooth. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until smooth, about 2 or 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract, the salt, the cinnamon and the ginger and beat for another minute. Add the sour cream and cornstarch and beat until blended, another minute or two. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Layer the apples over the cooled graham cracker crust. Pour the prepared cheesecake filling over the apples. Place the pan in a large, shallow roasting pan and add hot water to come about halfway up the side of the springform pan. Carefully place the pan in the oven. Bake for between 70 and 80 minutes, until only wobbly in middle.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven and from the water bath. Peel off the aluminum foil layer and place on a rack to cool completely. Once cool, place in the refrigerator to chill overnight.
• Just before serving, sift brown sugar over top of cheesecake to lightly cover the entire surface. Either using a propane kitchen torch, or by putting the cheesecake under the broiler, melt the sugar to form thin crust. (This step can be omitted and cheesecake is still excellent).
