Apple in Two Ways with Caramel Ice Cream (The Panna Cotta recipe yields 50 shots, accompaniments should be modified accordingly.)

(This recipe is to be done in two parts/ days due to the amount of refrigeration that must occur.

Day One: Apple Balls, Apple Compote, Caramel Ice Cream

For the Apple Balls
5-6 each Granny Smith apples, peeled
250g sugar
250g water
----------

100g sugar

Materials Needed
1. 3 medium saucepans
2. Heat resistant spatula
3. Melon baller
4. Ice bath
5. Spider

For the Syrup:
Begin heating the 250g of water and sugar in a saucepan to make simple syrup. In another saucepan melt the 100g of sugar over medium heat. When it has reached a dark amber color and the water is boiling, add the simple syrup to the melted sugar SLOWLY. The incorporation of the two has a tendency to splatter rather easily. Allow the mixture to cool.
