Ingredients

  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 50 g butter
  • 4 Braeburn apples
  • Puff pastry
  • Icing sugar, for dusting
  • Ice cream, to serve

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C (gas 5). Divide the sugar and butter evenly between four ramekins.
  2. Peel, core and quarter the apples. Arrange the pieces rounded-side down over the sugar and butter.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry, cut four rounds to fit the ramekins and lay them over the apples, tucking the edges in carefully.
  4. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the pastry is golden. Let the ramekins stand briefly, then invert them carefully onto plates.
  5. Dust with icing sugar and serve with ice cream.
