sweet arepa

Fall is here and its around this time of year that I usually feel a little sad, having to say goodbye to summer, knowing that colder days are on the way. It is never easy for me! Having a bad cold at the moment isn't helping matters. Having said that, fall does have it's up

Sweet Arepas with Caramelized Apples (Arepas Dulces con Manzanas)

masarepa (preecooked cornmeal)

water

sugar

cinnamon

Vegetable oil

butter

salt

apples

brown sugar

To make the arepas: Combine the masarepa, warm water, cinnamon and sugar, mixing thoroughly. Let mixture stand for five minutes.

Knead with your hands for about 3 minutes, moistening your hands with water as you work.

Form 6 small balls with the dough. Place each ball between 2 plastic bags and with a flat pot cover, flatten to ¼ inch.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot to 350 F. Add the arepas in the heated oil one by one, fry for 3 minutes, turning over once about half way through.

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the arepas from the oil and drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sugar. Set aside.

Place the butter in a skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt. Add the apples and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon and cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.

Reduce the heat to moderately low, add the water and cook until the apples are almost cooked through and the sugar has melted and is coating the apples in a light syrup.

To assemble: Place the arepas on a platter and top them with the apples and vanilla ice cream.
