Caramelized Apple Crème Caramel Recipe
Crème Caramel is a classic dessert, and is the French version of flan. Because the custard can be made ahead of time, it’s a lovely dessert to serve when hosting. We’re serving ours with caramelized apples and kouign amann croutons.

Prepare the Custard
In a saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until just simmering. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg yolks. Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl.

Bake the Custard
Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the ramekins. Place ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 45-50 minutes, or until set. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
