Toffee Apple Frangipane

Matt Sinclair

Ingredients:

Serves: 8-10

Toffee Apple:

  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, diced into chunks
  • ½ cup caster sugar

Frangipane:

  • 130g unsalted butter
  • 160g caster sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 180g almond meal
  • 75gm plain flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Salt

To Serve:

  • 60g flaked almonds, lightly toasted
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Icing sugar

 

 

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 160C.

Toffee Apple:

2. Spread the apple over the base of a non-stick fry pan and sprinkle over the sugar. Place over a low-medium heat for about 25-30 minutes until sugar starts to turn to a golden caramel. Don’t stir as you want to avoid it crystalizing. Cook until the caramel is evenly coloured, and apples have softened. Transfer mixture to a baking paper lined spring form cake tin (20-22cm) and set aside to cool slightly.

Frangipane:

3. While the caramel is cooling, prepare the frangipane. Add the butter and sugar into a bowl of an electric mixer and beat using paddle attachment for about 6-8 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time, incorporating well after each addition. Add the almond meal, baking powder, flour and a small pinch of salt and mix well on a medium speed to combine.

4. Pour frangipane over the toffee apple caramel and spread out evenly to the sides of the cake tin. Place in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until golden.

To Serve:

5. Allow to cool slightly before releasing it from the pan and over to turn out, apples facing up. Allow to cool slightly before garnishing with toasted flaked almonds, lemon zest and a dusting of icing sugar. Serve with dollop cream.

Recipe can be baked in a non-stick oven proof frying pan.
