Apple Caramel Roses Dessert - ColorChallenge/ColourChallenge: MondayRed

A show-stopping dessert made simple and a great twist on Apple Pie!

The grand finale of any meal should be a knock-out dessert - and they don't get much more impressive than this... it's my fruitily-floral indulgent pudding, and it's far easier to make than it looks!

Making this fancy dessert is a series of very simple steps - if you follow them you can't go wrong and will find making this a breeze.

Starting off by making a biscuit base and pretty anyone and do this! Crush the biscuits and mix with butter, pushing the mixture into a flan dish and firming it down.

People seem to panic at the idea of making Caramel, but again this is very easy - just melt brown sugar and butter together before adding Condensed Milk and giving it a short boil. Your Caramel is then poured over the biscuit base.

With that done you can set about make the roses to top it off. You'll want to find Red Apples and core them, use a proper apple corer to making this go smoothly.

Cut in two and then thinly slice them

You'll then lightly cooked the slices in a sugar syrup mixture for just a few minutes.

Then with a simple strip of pastry lay the apple slices along it, overlapping them as you and roll the whole thing to form your first rose!

These are then quickly placed into the caramel, filling the dish completely.

Then off to oven to cook the pastry and bring everything together beautifully :-)

When cooked, dust with icing sugar and serve with ice cream.
