Bramley apple brûlée

Ingredients 3 large cooking Apples, such as Bramley, cored 300ml single cream 1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground Cloves 3 egg yolks 50g Sugar Method 1. Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas 3. 2. Put the apples in a small roasting pan with 1cm of water. Bake for 40 minutes until tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool a little. 3. Pour the cream into a small saucepan. Bring almost to the boil, then remove from the heat. 4. Scoop the flesh from the apples and put in a food processor or blender. Add the spices, egg yolks and half the sugar. Blend for 2-3 minutes until smooth. 5. Add the scalded cream and blend again. 6. Pour the mixture into three ramekins. Place in a roasting pan, then pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake 25-30 minutes until set. 7. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and spray with a little water. Burn the surface with a blowtorch to form a crisp caramelised topping. Alternatively, place the ramekins under a very hot grill to brown the topping.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
