Roasted milk with apples

In Chile the dessert based on milk are really popular, I grow up having roasted milk (very similar to flan), rice pudding and semolina pudding.

Roasted milk with apples
for 6 persons
Ingredients:

  •      1 can condensed milk
  •      3 eggs
  •      2 cups milk, I use skim milk which is usually what I have at home
  •      1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
For the caramel:
  •      1 cup sugar
  •      1/2 cup water
  •      1 apple, peeled and sliced  
Preparation: 
  1. Cook the caramel in a small saucepan, put together the sugar and water over medium heat and bring to boil. Let it boil until it looks medium amber, about 10 minutes, do not left alone it can burn in seconds.
  2.  Meanwhile choose a pan that can go in the oven on a bain marie. Peel and chop the apple and put it in a layer at the pan. 
  3. Preheat oven to 350F or 180C. Boil water for the bath. 
  4. In a bowl with a whisk or in the blender mix the condensed milk, milk, vanilla and eggs. 
  5. Once the caramel is ready, pour over the apples, if juices release do not worry. Add the milk mixture and put together the bath. Bake until set and firm and golden on top, about 50-60 minutes. 
  1. Let cool, refrigerate and serve.
