Ingredients for Apples With Rosemary

  • 2 medium apples (about 2 cups sliced)
  • Butter
  • Caster Sugar
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds
  • Double Cream
  • Fresh Edible Flower

How to Make Apples With Rosemary

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and thinly slice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups sliced).
  3. In an oven-safe skillet or pan, combine the sliced apples, 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds, and 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference).
  4. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.
  5. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  6. Remove from the oven and gently stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  7. Cook for an additional 2 minutes on the stovetop over low heat, allowing the cream to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a sprinkle of edible flowers, and a few thinly sliced apple rings for garnish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
