Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into small cubes.
In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender but not mushy. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves and forms a thick caramel-like sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream, ensuring the mix is smooth and combined. Simmer for 2 minutes and remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.
Gradually pour the hot butterscotch mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and avoid curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to a pudding-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
Fold the cooked apples into the pudding and mix to combine.
Pour the butterscotch apple pudding into serving dishes or ramekins. Allow to cool slightly or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a chilled dessert.
Before serving, optionally drizzle with extra heavy cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish.
