Bonfire night treat meets classic comfort food in this doubly delicious dessert that your family won’t be able to resist
Ingredients:
3 Red Dessert Apples
Juice ½ Lemon
4 tbsp Golden Caster Sugar
397g Canned Caramel
(can use Carnation)
6 Brioche Finger Rolls,
sliced into rounds
3 Eggs
400ml full-fat milk
200ml Double Cream
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Handful of Raisins
Ice Cream, to serve (optional)
Method:
Core the apples, then slice about as thick as a 50p piece. Toss through the lemon juice and 2 tbsp sugar. Spread about 2 /3 of the caramel over the base of a large baking dish (ours was 20 x 30cm).
Layer the brioche and apple slices in the dish evenly. Dot spoonfuls of the leftover caramel here and there, leaving bits of apple poking out.In a jug, whisk the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract and 1 tbsp sugar. Pour the mixture over the brioche and apples, making sure it’s all well covered, then wrap in cling film. Set aside for at least 30 mins, or overnight, in the fridge.
Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Uncover the pudding and scatter with the remaining 1 tbsp sugar and the raisins. Bake for 45-50 mins until the top is golden and the custard has set. The caramel should be bubbling around the edges and the pudding puffed up. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if you like.
