What You’ll Need
- 3 Mamey Apples
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 6 mint leaves for garnish
Method
Step One
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Take your mamey apples and wash them well. Once clean, cut them in half and scoop out the seeds. Set them aside on a baking tray.
Step Two
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Stir this mixture constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved, then stop stirring and let it boil. Allow this sugar mixture to cook without stirring until it becomes golden and reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C). This should take about 10 to 12 minutes.
Step Three
As soon as the sugar mixture reaches the correct temperature, add in the unsalted butter. Be careful here as the mixture will bubble up. Stir the butter in until it is completely melted, then remove the pan from the heat.
Step Four
Now, carefully add in the heavy cream. Likewise, this will cause the mixture to bubble up. Stir in the cream until it is fully combined. Once the cream is incorporated, mix in the vanilla extract, coarse salt, and cinnamon.
Step Five
Spoon this prepared caramel sauce over the halved mamey apples on the baking tray. Make sure each apple half is well covered with the sauce. Reserve some sauce for later.
Step Six
Roast the mamey apples in your preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they soft and caramelized. Once done, remove them from oven and let them cool slightly.
Step Seven
Transfer your roasted mamey apples to serving plates. Drizzle each apple with the leftover caramel sauce from the baking tray or the reserve. Top each apple with a mint leaf for garnish before serving. Enjoy!
