Flavour Notes
Granny Smiths stand up to the oven better than sweeter apples — they hold their shape and keep a little tartness against the caramel. A thin layer of apples, not a heap; too many and the sponge doesn't set. The caramel is a classic cream-butter-brown-sugar, poured warm. Eats best the day it's made but reheats honestly.
Heating Instructions
All meals are fully cooked and delivered refrigerated. Keep refrigerated (consume within 4 days) or freeze immediately for up to 6 weeks. For best results, defrost overnight in the fridge — frozen-direct timings are a fallback, not the target.
Reheat to 75°C / 167°F internal temperature — a knife-tip held 2 seconds against the centre should feel hot, not warm. Always rest 2–5 minutes after reheating so the centre fully evens out. Reheat once only; never re-reheat leftovers.
Prepared in a kitchen that also handles gluten, tree nuts, dairy and soy — see the allergens list for dish-specific information.
Heat gently until piping hot throughout. Times are a guide — check the centre before serving.

The Story
Granny Smith apples layered under a cinnamon-scented sponge, baked until the apples soften and the top goes golden, then drenched in warm caramel sauce. Served with cream or ice cream; don’t skip the cream.
