Ingredients
- 3 gala apples (, peeled, quartered, cored, and sliced thinly (Note 1))
- 1/4 cup caster sugar / superfine sugar
- 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 3 ½ tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 pinch of salt
Method
- Tip the caster sugar into a medium saucepan over low heat and shake the pan so the sugar spreads in an even layer.
- Leave the sugar undisturbed for a few minutes until its edges melt and turn golden, then swirl the pan to spread the melting caramel evenly without stirring, which could crystallise it.
- When all the sugar has melted into caramel, add the thinly sliced gala apples and the sherry vinegar, stir them in, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the apples are completely soft.
- Stir in the butter and the pinch of salt until the butter mostly melts into the apples.
- Blend the sauce with a stick blender, keeping the head submerged to avoid splashing, until it is completely smooth, and serve it warm.
