The Apple

The Apple is a really special dessert that you may have seen James share photos of online. A trademark dish, it has the wow factor and surprisingly the apple itself is made from ice cream! Simply stunning!

Ingreadient :
    • 6 Pink lady Apples
    • 125g butter
    • 250g sugar
    • Yorkshire pudding mould tin
    • Round pastry cutters
    • Puff pastry sheet docked
    • Apple Flexipan Moulds
    • 200g White chocolate
    • 200g cocoa Butter
    • 50g Dark Chocolate
    • 50g Cocoa Powder
    • Red velvet Cocoa Butter Aerosol MSK
    • Green Cocoa Butter Aerosol MSK
    • Finish the Apple by using a little melted chocolate to stick a fresh mint leaf by the stem to complete the ‘Apple’.
Direction :
    1. Slightly melt vanilla ice cream and pipe into apple moulds, freeze hard and demould.
    2. With a toothpick, dip into a mix of melted white chocolate and cocoa butter.
    3. Freeze again. Pipe melted dark chocolate into cocoa butter in a tray making ‘stems’.
    4. Freeze for use later. Spray dipped apples, on greaseproof paper with red and green cocoa butter to create a finished apple look. Freeze again and then with a little melted chocolate place a mint leaf in each apple.
    5. Medium to large Pink Lady Apples peeled and cored, round off edges. Caramelise the apple slowly and carefully in pan on stove to a dark caramel. Allow to cool off.
    6. Cut a puff pastry circle, place in Yorkshire pudding mould tin and top with the cooled Tatin apple. Cook in an 180c oven for 35-40 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden-brown, turn out on a rack and drain, then brush caramel back onto the apple to glaze.
    7. Serve the piping hot Apple Tatin and serve alongside ‘the Apple’.
