Putting it TogetherLayer the apple filling mixture into the centre of the circle leaving a 6cm border all the way around. Dot the cubes of butter on top.

Whiskey Caramel Sauce
-
In a large saucepan, heat the sugar and water and allow to bubble for 5 minutes.
-
Don’t stir but swirl until the liquid turns a light amber colour. Lift off the heat and add the butter and whisk until combined.
-
Add in the whiskey, the cream and the salt. It will steam and splutter quite a bit but just keep whisking until it is smooth. Store in a sterilised glass jar.
