    Ingredients

    Makes 1 loaf
    Caramelized Onion
    1 large onion, chopped or thinly sliced
    1 bunch green onion bulbs, chopped
    2 tbsp olive oil
    salt
    Dough
    4 cups (500g) flour
    1 tsp (5g) salt
    25 g fresh yeast (2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast)
    1 bunch green onion leaves, finely chopped
    1 1/3 cup (320 ml) warm water
    caramelized onion

    1. In a frying pan heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion until soft and golden brown, for about 7 minutes. Season with salt. Set aside to cool.

    2. In a large bowl, mix flour with green onion leaves. Dissolve the fresh yeast with salt and 1/3 cup (80 ml) water and add to the flour mixture. Add the rest of 1 cup (240 ml) water, mix everything together then add caramelized onion and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Cover it and let it sit for about 1 hour at room temperature to rise until doubled in size.

    3. On a floured surface roll the dough into a loaf. Place in a 6×10 inch (15x25cm) baking tray and leave to rise again for 30 minutes. A regular loaf pan should be as good. Optional sprinkle salt and few green onion chopped leaves on top.

    4. Preheat oven to 470F (240C). Place a small pot with water at the base of the oven to create steam.

    5. Bake for 15 minutes with steam then remove the pot with water from the oven.

    6. Reduce oven temperature to 450F (230C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes.

    7. Cool on a wire rack. Let the bread cool completely before cutting.

    1/2 cup (120g) heavy cream
    2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, room temperature
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 tsp salt

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Grease with butter a 9 X 13 inches baking dish.Line with parchment paper.

    2. Prepare the crust. In a large bowl combine flour, ground almonds, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and using a pastry blender or simply a fork cut in the butter until crumbles are formed.

    3. Press the mixture onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for about 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown. Set aside and let cool slightly.

    4. While the crust is baking prepare the apples. Peel and core the apples, and cut into small pieces. In a medium bowl combine apples with sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.

    5. Prepare the cheese mixture by mixing the cream cheese with sugar, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Add eggs one at a time and mix until well combined.

    6. Add the cheese mixture over the warm crust and spread evenly. Add the chopped apples on top of the cream cheese layer.

    7. Prepare the streusel topping: In a large bowl combine rolled oats, flour, ground almonds, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the butter and using a fork cut the butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the apples.

    8. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until set.

    9. While the cake is baking prepare the caramel sauce. Place the sugar and water in a medium heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook without stirring until sugar dissolves and gets a caramel color.

    10. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cream. It will bubble a little bit.

    11. Cook for about 1 minute stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until smooth.

    12. Remove from heat and add butter and salt. Stir well until smooth. Pour into a small jar and set aside to cool until the cake is ready.

    13. When the cake is ready, allow to cool at room temperature, cut into bars and serve drizzled with the caramel sauce.
