Directions:
Grease four 2/3 cup (160ml) moulds. Combine the apples, water and brown sugar in medium pan; cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes or until most of the liquid is evaporated and apples have caramelized, spoon into prepared moulds.
Beat butter, caster sugar and egg in small bowl with electric mixer until thick and pail.
