Baked Apple

LET’S GO

PREPARATION

1. Add the sugar to a pan and caramelize it. As soon as the sugar is fully dissolved and the caramel has turned a nice color, add a spoon full off vegetable oil. Stir a little and add the almonds.

2. Stir until the almonds have been evenly coated with the caramel.

3. Remove the almonds from the pan, pour them onto a piece of parchment paper and cool them until they harden up.
4. Add brown sugar to a saucepan and caramelize it. Deglaze it with Grand Manier. Add the juice of 2 oranges, cloves and cinnamon.
5. Reduce the liquid down to 2/3, until there is a thick paste, that you can later on brush onto the apple.
6. Let’s get to the vanilla sauce: Beat egg yolk, cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a bain-marie. Beat until mixture turns into a thick, well-blended vanilla sauce.

GRILLING

1. Add the apple wedges onto a drip tray.
2. Grill the wedges on low heat on Meat-O-Meter setting #2 for approx. 2 minutes.
3. Brush the Grand Manier glaze all over and roast wedges for 1 more minute on Meat-O-Meter setting #2 and then remove it.
4. Break the marzipan into little pieces, sprinkle it on top of the apple wedges and continue grilling them for another minute on Meat-O-Meter setting #2.

SERVING

1. Arrange the glazed apple with marzipan pieces on a serving plate. Take the roasted almonds and chop them up, then sprinkle the pieces over the apples. Splash a little bit of the glaze all over for decoration. In the end, pour the vanilla sauce over it.
