Caramelised apples with cider

Melt the caster sugar in a non-stick frying pan until golden brown, then carefully add the apples, cut-side down. Cook for 5 mins to get some colour, then slowly add the cider. Bring to the boil and simmer, turning the apples occasionally, for about 10 mins until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to add a splash of water if the cider has evaporated before the apples are fully cooked.
