Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 4 apples
- 4 small cinnamon sticks
- 40g Président unsalted butter
- 40g brown sugar
- For the cream:
- 25cl milk
- 25g flour
- 50g sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 vanilla pod
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the crème pâtissière: to do this, combine the egg yolk and the sugar and whisk until the mixture turns white.
Step 2
Add the flour and stir well, then pour into a pan. Set aside.
Step 3
In the meantime, in another pan, heat up the milk.
Step 4
When it starts to bubble, pour into the egg mixture, then add the vanilla pod.
Step 5
Put the pan on a low heat and whisk until it comes to the boil.
Step 6
When the cream has thickened, remove from the heat and leave to cool.
Step 7
In the meantime, cut out four circles of puff pastry the same size as the diameter of your apples and cook them in a preheated oven at 200°C.
Step 8
Take them out of the oven when they have risen and turned golden brown. Keep at room temperature.
Step 9
Cook the apples in the oven: arrange them in a gratin dish and put a cinnamon stick in each apple.
Step 10
Sprinkle with sugar and add a generous knob of butter to each apple.
Step 11
To serve, spread a generous layer of the crème pâtissière on to the pastry.
Step 12
Arrange a cooked apple on top and serve warm.
