Nothing would beat freshly made caramel apples as an after meal in the Autumn. Offer your guests Pronto's Caramel Apple recipe. Pronto's Caramel Apples (Serves 16) Ingridients you will need (missing any? not to worry you can order from shop.prontofoodservice.com any ingredient you are missing) 16 Granny Smith apples 800g golden caster sugar 2 table spoon vinegar 8 table spoon golden syrup And here is how to make it: 10min prep and 10min cooking time. Place the apples in a large bowl, then cover with boiling water (you may have to do this in 2 batches). This will remove the waxy coating and help the caramel to stick. Dry thoroughly and twist off any stalks. Push a wooden skewer or lolly stick into the stalk end of each apple. Lay out a sheet of baking parchment and place the apples on this, close to your stovetop. Tip the sugar into a pan along with 100ml water and set over a medium heat. Cook for 5 mins until the sugar dissolves, then stir in the vinegar and syrup. Set a sugar thermometer in the pan and boil to 150C or 'hard crack' stage. If you don’t have a thermometer you can test the toffee by pouring a little into a bowl of cold water. It should harden instantly and, when removed, be brittle and easy to break. If you can still squish the toffee, continue to boil it. Working quickly and carefully, dip and twist each apple in the hot toffee until covered, let any excess drip away, then place on the baking parchment to harden. You may have to heat the toffee a little if the temperature drops and it starts to feel thick and viscous. Leave the toffee to cool before eating. Can be made up to 2 days in advance, stored in a dry place. And serve the perfection! We hope you will try Pronto’s Caramel recipe and your guests will indulge themselves.

Do you remember the first time you have eaten a strawberry cheesecake as a child? Well, why don't you give Pronto's Strawberry Cheesecake recipe a try and take your guests to their childhood.

Strawberry Cheesecake (Serves 6)

Ingredients (missing any? not to worry you can order from shop.prontofoodservice.com any ingredient you are missing)

125 grams digestive biscuits

75 grams butter (soft) 

300 grams cream cheese 

60 grams sugar 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

250 millilitres double cream 

strawberry jam (2 pots) strawberries (fresh, a few to decorate or strawberry sauce to drizzle - optional)

And here is how to make it:

Crush the digestive biscuits in a bowl.

Melt the butter and then pour into the bowl of crushed biscuits and stir well. Find a container or flat bowl and press the biscuit mixture on the bottom evenly. Use a metal tablespoon/ teaspoon to spoon out jam and spread it evenly over the layer of biscuit, (make sure the spoon is wet to stop the jam from sticking).

In a separate large bowl beat together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In another bowl or a processor, whip the double cream, and then pour and fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Carefully spoon the cheesecake mixture onto the biscuit and strawberry base, then using another wet metal tablespoon/teaspoon smooth the surface perhaps leaving a whippy effect or decorating with a fork.

(Optionally) drizzle the top with strawberry sauce or decorate with strawberries.

Leave in the fridge overnight or for 3- 5 hours.
