Mini Apple Charlottes

Mini Apple Charlottes

Warm, comforting and wonderfully simple, these Mini Apple Charlottes are a family favourite that's perfect for little hands to help prepare. Layered in our ANTA Small Mugs, they're ideal for cosy afternoons in the kitchen, filling the home with the comforting aroma of sweet apples and golden breadcrumbs. Serve warm on their own or with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream for an irresistible seasonal dessert.

Ingredients

• 450g apples
• 30g butter
• 100g fresh white breadcrumbs
• 50g demerara sugar

Method

1. Peel, core and chop the apples into chunks. Place them in a heavy-based saucepan with a tablespoon of water and cook gently over a low heat until the apples soften into a purée, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
2. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the breadcrumbs and cook until lightly golden. Remove from the heat, add the demerara sugar and stir well to combine.
3. Spoon a layer of apple purée into six ANTA Small Mugs, followed by a layer of the golden breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with another layer of apple, finishing with a final layer of breadcrumbs.
4. Serve warm, either on their own or with homemade vanilla ice cream for a comforting family dessert.
