Three flavour caramel compote

4 Reinette apples, 4 Granny Smith apples, 4 Canada apples, 100 grams of pine nuts, 60 grams of butter, 100 grams of brown sugar, 2 pinches of powdered cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of liquid vanilla, a pinch of ground ginger.

Serves 4 to 6 Preparation time: 15 min. Valve position: 1 Cooking time: 6 min.

Peel the apples, pit them and cut them into quarters 2 cm thick.

Using the pressure cooker, gently heat them in the but- ter. Add the cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, brown sugar and pine nuts. Stir with a wooden spoon.

Close the pressure cooker. As soon as the valve starts to hiss, lower the heat and leave to cook for the stated du- ration. Once cooked, open the pressure cooker.

Serve the compote cold or warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a tablespoon of crème fraîche.

Small crème caramels

25 cl of milk, 1/2 vanilla pod cut in two, 3 egg yolks, 100 grams of granulated sugar, a few drops of vinegar.

Serves 4

Preparation time: 15 min.

Valve position: 1

Cooking time: 7 min.

Boil the milk with the vanilla. Pour 50 grams of sugar and the egg yolks into a dish. Beat the eggs well until a white mixture is obtained. Slowly pour in the boiling milk (after removing the vanilla pod) over the egg while continuing to beat them.

Using a thick-based pan, pour in the rest of the sugar with two tablespoons of water and a few drops of vi- negar. Heat over low heat until a pale caramel is ob- tained. Coat four individual cooking dishes with caramel. Filter the egg preparation using a strainer and pour it into the individual cooking dishes. Cover them with a small piece of aluminium foil. Place the dishes in the steaming basket.

Pour 75 cl of water into the pressure cooker and place the steaming basket in it, on its tripod. Close the pressure cooker. As soon as the valve starts to hiss, lower the heat and leave to cook for the stated duration. Once cooked, open the pressure cooker.

Leave the crème dishes to cool before placing them in the fridge.

Turn out onto a plate and serve cold.
