1. Crumble 50g of crisp meringues into large pieces over a
medium-sized mixing bowl.
2. Pour 250g of chilled custard over the meringues and leave for 30
minutes. Do not allow the meringue to completely soften.
3. Cut 2 medium-sized dessert apples in half and then into thick
slices, removing the cores and pips as you go.
4. Set a wide, shallow, nonstick pan over a moderate heat.
5. Put in the apple slices, 3 tbsp of maple syrup and 2 tbsp of honey
and keep the heat at a simmer, turning from time to time.

syrup around the apples caramelise.
7. Serve the toffee apple sundae soon after making by spooning the
apples and sauce over the meringue and custard.
