Ingredients Needed
- 4 large apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Vacuum seal bags or resealable zip-top bags
- Water bath setup for sous vide
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the apples. Core each apple, creating a cavity for the filling if desired. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Stuff the apples with the spice mixture for extra flavor.
Place each apple into a vacuum seal bag or resealable bag. Add a tablespoon of butter and a generous amount of caramel sauce into each bag. Seal the bags carefully, removing as much air as possible.
Set up your water bath for sous vide at 85°C (185°F). Submerge the sealed bags in the water, ensuring they are fully immersed. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the apples.
Finishing Touches
Once cooked, carefully remove the apples from the bags. If desired, you can warm additional caramel sauce to drizzle over the apples. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet until golden and fragrant.
Serve the warm poached apples topped with walnuts and drizzled with caramel sauce. Enjoy this elegant and cozy dessert perfect for any occasion.
