• 1 or 2 red chillies, deseeded and chopped
• 100g granulated sugar
• 4 large Braeburn or Cox’s apples
• 50g butter
• Ice cream, to serve

1 Put the chillies in a small pan together with the granulated sugar and 300ml water. Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar has completely dissolved, then simmer for 15 minutes.

2 Meanwhile, peel and core the apples, and cut each into 8 wedges. Melt the butter in a nonstick frying pan, add the apples and turn them over until coated in butter. Cook over a low heat for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

3 Slowly pour the chilli syrup into the frying pan of apples and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the apples are tender but still holding their shape. Serve with ice cream.
