  • 250 g red skinned apple
  • 50 g olive oil
  • 250 g cane sugar

Instructions

The base oil

  • Begin with crushing the lemon grass and then cut them in even small pieces. Now cut the vanilla pods in half and scrape out the seeds. Cut the empty pods in smaller pieces.
  • Then pour the olive oil in a vacuum bag and also add the neutral oil, the salt, the chopped lemon grass, the jasmine tea leaves, the cut vanilla pod and seeds and the kaffir lime leaves.
  • Now vacuum the bag a 100%. After that steam the bag in a steam oven at 84 °C for 2 hours. Then leave it for a day at room temperature to infuse.

The burnt apple

  • Clean the granny smith apples and the red skinned apple. Just cut them in four and remove the core.
  • Now place them on a tray that’s lined with parchment paper and also add the olive oil, the cane sugar and the Maldon salt. Give it a good mix to ensure the apples are covered all around and then caramelize the apples at 180 °C for about 30 minutes. Turn them every 10 minutes to get a proper caramelization.
  • Once you’re happy with the color let them cool down before placing the apples in a vacuum bag. Then pass the oil we made before through a super fine sieve and add it to the apples. Press all the oil out with the back of a spoon.
  • Now vacuum this a 100% and cook it in a steam oven at 72 °C for another hour. Then let it infuse in your fridge for 3 to 4 days.
  • After that drain the oil and let it drip for at least 1 hour.
  • Keep both the apples and oil. Transfer the oil in a piping bottle and keep it in your fridge for later.
  • The apples you can transfer into a blender with a knife tip of charcoal powder and blend it till smooth. Let it blend for at least 5 minutes to get the best cream.
