Method

Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the whole apple, and brush each slice on both sides with a little of the dessert sauce. Set aside.
Just before serving, put a scoop of the ice cream into the bottom of 4 sundae glasses or tall tumblers. Drizzle with a little sauce and top with a piece of ginger cake and a spoonful of apple sauce. Repeat the layering to use up the remaining ingredients finishing with a layer of apple sauce.
Whip the cream until softly peaking and spoon on top of each dessert. Serve immediately decorated with the prepared apple slices.

Top Tip for making Caramel apple and ginger layers

Chopped fresh mango makes a deliciously fresh alternative to the apple sauce in this recipe – reserve some thin slices of decoration.
