Apple crème caramel

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Most traditional recipes for crème caramel are made with a sugar-based caramel and a rich creamy custard. The fruity version here uses apple juice both for the caramel and in the custard, thus reducing the fat and sugar content and making it dairy free. Served with blackberries, or another seasonal fruit, this is a delicious treat for family or friends.

An original French recipe of my grandmother's, tweaked a bit to be lower in fat! It's best made with fresh fruit. If you want to make it the original way, not low-fat, just use regular milk and butter and 4 large eggs.
