8 large, square slices white sandwich bread

50g unsalted butter, softened

1 tblsp icing sugar mixture

1 To make sauce, combine cream and sugar in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil. Stirring occasionally, gently boil for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove and cover to keep warm.

2 Meanwhile, combine apple, sultanas, syrup and cinnamon in a medium bowl. 3 Spread one side of each bread slice with butter. Turn half the bread slices over, butter-side down. Top with apple mixture, spreading to edges. Place remaining bread slices, butter-side up, over apples.

4 Place two sandwiches at a time in a heated jaffle maker. Close the lid and cook for about 4 minutes, or until toasted. Remove and cut in half diagonally.

5 Dust jaffles with sifted icing sugar. Top with ice-cream. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top.
