Filling
In a small bowl, whisk together 100g of sugar, custard powder, and sea salt and set aside.
Place large pot on medium heat, add apple, remaining 50g of sugar and stir slowly, turning and moving the apple. Once apple has begun to soften (approximately 5min) set aside to cool.
Once the apple mix has cooled (approximately 30min), add ingredients from step 1 and stir to combine.

Let the dish sit for at least ten minutes before serving, slathered in cream, vanilla ice cream or both.
