Method

  1. Mix the oats, spice and sugar. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the oats and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring all the time, until they are lightly toasted and crisp (they become crispier still on cooling). Tip into a bowl and leave to cool.
  2. Peel, core and thickly slice the apples. Melt the butter in the frying pan until it is foaming, add the apples and fry quickly over a fairly high heat, flipping them over when they start to colour. Sprinkle over the sugar and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until the apples are slightly softened. Leave to cool.
  3. Layer half the apples and almost half the oats in a glass serving dish, repeat, setting aside a few oats. Drizzle over the coulis, then spoon over the custard. Whip the cream until stiff, then spoon over the custard. Scatter over the remaining oats. Serve straight away or chill for up to 6 hours.

    Really easy to make and gives a fabulous aroma in the kitchen when cooking the oats and apples. Very filling though so not great after a heavy meal.

    I made this for dessert at a recent dinner party of mine, which was jolly good fun. When I brought it out there was gasps of excitement coming from all my guests and the taste didn't disappoint either! Absolutely delicious although I had to add some extra cream! :D

    I had to add extra cream too but it was an easy pudding to make for my family coming round for dinner and everyone enjoyed it. I think I still prefer the classic version though.
