    2. Put the frying pan off, let it cool for 1 minute. Add butter while mixing all this.
    3. Mix it all the time while adding milk. Put it on fire and mix it for 2 minutes (the mass should be a little bit thick). Put it off and add vanilla.
  2. Prepare the apples
    1. Heat the oven up to 170 °C.
    2. Cut each apple on 5 pieces horizontally gather them in a previous form and put it into the heat resisting utensils (Optional).

    4. Put every apple into deep bowl, fill the apples with ¼ glass of caramel souse. Serve them right after the oven.

Well, if you are single – it will be your skill – to cook, and if you are not – you can impress your soul mate. In any case – it’s cool. So, folks, let’s start? I think it will be a good post to read in the morning (at least in NY – morning for sure).
