Caramelized Lady Apples

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes enough for one 6-inch layer

Ingredients

3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Preparation

  1. In a small saucepan, cook the sugar over medium-high heat, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until sugar is melted and turns golden amber, about 3 minutes. Stir in the butter.
