Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 2
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Step 3
Whisk heavy cream, egg yolks, and white sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove custard from heat when it starts to simmer. Whisk in vanilla extract and cinnamon.
Step 4
Arrange apple slices in the bottom of six 6-ounce ramekins. Divide caramel topping evenly over apples. Ladle custard over caramel.
Step 5
Transfer ramekins to a baking dish. Pour enough warm water into the dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours.
Step 7
Arrange ramekins on a baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar over each custard.
Step 8
Broil in the preheated oven until sugar is melted and crisp, about 2 minutes.
