Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 400 ml Full-fat coconut cream
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 50 g Desiccated coconut
- 150 g Graham crackers or digestive biscuits
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 50 g Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add sliced apples and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the apples are caramelized and tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
While the apples cool, prepare the coconut cream. Scoop the solid coconut cream from the can (avoid the liquid) into a large mixing bowl.
Add powdered sugar to the coconut cream and whip it with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
Crush the graham crackers or digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Set aside.
In serving glasses or bowls, layer the dessert: start with a layer of graham cracker crumbs, followed by a layer of caramelized apples, then a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, ending with a dollop of coconut cream on top.
Sprinkle desiccated coconut and chopped pecans or walnuts (if using) on top as garnish.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Caramel Apple Coconut Dessert!
