Amaretti Apple Stack with Caramel Sauce

Preparation Time: 40 Minutes + standing

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plain flour
• 2 eggs (did you know you are supposed to bake with eggs at room temperature. We did not get this memo in time, ours were straight out of the fridge)
• 1 cup milk
• 30g unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Amaretto liqueur, option (we chose to go with optional)
• 125g Amaretti biscuits: FAIL (this was ridiculous. I went to Albertsons, Whole Foods, Simon David and La Madeline. FAIL. Instead we substituted Nonni's biscottis. I don't even know if that is anything like an Amaretti biscuit. I do know that the bonding I was supposed to be doing with my husband was spent wandering around all the grocery stores in a 5 mile radius of our house. This weekend I plan to hit up Central Market - just to see if I can find some.)
• 5 cooking apples, peeled and cored (please tell me the diference between a cooking apple and a regular apple)
• 185g unsalted butter (this second entry for butter is very confusing - why are they listing butter twice???)
• 1 cup soft brown sugar (I guess we used soft)
• 1/2 cup golden syrup (Again, this description doesn't help me. We used the Albertsons brand we had in the fridge)
• 1/2 cup cream (wish they would be more descriptive here)
• 3/4 cup light sour cream (gross, we just had this on our tacos)

Our baking started around 8:30 after we finished the homemade BBQ chicken pizza Matt made for dinner. Luckily by this time Lemmon is tired so she wasn't too much of a hassle.

We started with the crepes. Our first time to ever make crepes. It mentioned something about sifting the flour - so we tried to sprinkle it slowly into the bowl. Matt did a great job, although we were apparently supposed to get 10 crepes out of batter - we got a solid 4 1/2.

Next step: roughly shop the biscuits in a food processor. Note Matt, our processor.

We sliced the apples REALLY well, and then layered our 5 layer crepe cake instead of 10, put it in the oven using a baking sheet to cover it instead of foil and baked it twice as long as it said to because our crepes refused to get crisp.

We spread the sour cream, put on the glaze/sauce (that I didn't burn) and gave it a go. It was fun to use the dessert plates my friends made for me at one of my bridal showers. The end result was that the dessert was edible and not half bad. Matt liked it more than I did. That being said it did not look AT ALL like it did in the book. ha! We had a good time though.
