APPLE GALETTE WITH RAISIN CARAMEL 9 small apples 1 1/3 cups sugar 2 cinnamon sticks 2 tablespoons grated lime rind 1/3 cup lime juice 2 sheets (24cm x 24cm) puff pastry 2 tablespoons skim milk 1 tablespoon granulated sugar RAISIN CARAMEL 1 1/4 cups sugar 15g reduced-fat margarine 100g raisins

Halve apples lengthways, peel, then scoop out cores with a teaspoon. Place apples, sugar, cinnamon, rind and juice in a medium pan. Barely cover with cold water, cover pan and slowly bring to a simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and allow apples to cool to room temperature. Strain apples and reserve the liquid, discard cinnamon sticks and rind.

Place each sheet of pastry on a lightly greased baking tray. Brush each sheet all over with a llittle of the skim milk. Roll up the sides of each pastry sheet 3cm. Divide apple halves, cut side up, between pastry sheets. Brush sides of pastry with remaining skim milk, sprinkle pastry and apples with granulated sugar. Bake in 400°F oven for 40 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve apple galette with raisin caramel and toffee pieces.

RAISIN CARAMEL: Place 1/4 cup of the sugar into a heavy-based pan and cook over a medium heat until it caramelises. Pour onto a lightly oiled baking tray. Break into small pieces when set. Place remaining sugar in small pan and cook over medium heat until it caramelises. Stir in 1 cup of reserved apple cooking liquid, then swirl in the margarine and raisins. Simmer for 5 minutes or until caramel is slightly thickened.
