Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) Fuji apples, peeled and finely diced
- 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 5 large (250g) egg yolks
- 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
Instructions:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling.
- Stir in diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt.
- Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are mahogany-colored and the liquid has reduced to a thick syrup.
- Transfer apple mixture to a bowl and chill completely in the fridge.
- In a medium pot, simmer the heavy cream, milk, and 1 tsp of cinnamon over medium-low heat until small bubbles form around the edges.
- Whisk egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl until pale and thick.
- Slowly drizzle one cup of the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot.
