Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Golden apples
- 150g granulated sugar
- 500ml whole milk
- 3 eggs
- 5g agar-agar
- Zest of one lemon
- 30g butter
- 50g sugar (for caramel)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Peel the apples, remove the seeds, and dice them.
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add 50g of sugar with a bit of water to create caramel.
- Cook until it reaches a golden caramel color, then pour it into the bottom of a greased flan mold.
- In another saucepan, heat the whole milk with the remaining 100g of sugar until it gently boils, stirring continuously.
- Add the agar-agar while stirring for about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and mix in the beaten eggs and lemon zest.
- Carefully fold in the diced apples until well coated.

- To serve, gently unmold onto a plate and optionally garnish with fresh apple slices or a touch of whipped cream.
Notes
Avoid overcooking to maintain a tender flan. Can be made in advance and tastes even better the next day.
