Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Make toffee base without letting butter separate
- • Reduce apple cider to half for proper compote thickness

- • Bake at high heat initially then finish at 350°F for even puff and browning
Safety Warnings
- • Hot apple cider can splatter – stand back when adding to pan
- • Use oven mitts when handling hot baking sheet
