Warm 400 ml of milk in a bowl and add 30 g of butter until melted.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Crack 4 eggs into the bowl and whisk together.

Sift in 180 g of flour, add 2 tbsp of sugar, 0.5 tsp of salt, and a splash of vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth.

Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray and bake at 190° C (375°F) for 30 minutes.

Dice 4 apples and add them to a pan with a few knobs of butter over heat.

Once the butter melts, add 1 tsp of cinnamon, 50 g of sugar, and half an orange's zest, then let simmer until juices thicken.

Mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with a splash of water, add to the apple mixture, and stir until glossy.

Spread the apple filling on top of the baked pancake base and roll it up gently, then dust with powdered sugar.

For the apple cheese balls, blend 200 g of cottage cheese, 0.25 cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, and 100 g of butter until smooth.

Add 250 g of flour and 1 tbsp of baking powder, mix until a dough forms, then fold in diced apples.

Roll into balls, coat with cinnamon sugar, and bake at 180° C for 15 minutes.

For the apple pudding, peel and chop 2 apples, blend with 2 eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth.

Pour into an oven-safe dish and air fry at 160° C for 20 minutes.

For the layered apple dessert, mix 1 tbsp of brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 4 tbsp of melted butter in a ramekin.

Core and peel an apple, slice it thinly, layer in the ramekin, and top with puff pastry brushed with egg.

Bake at 180° C for 20-25 minutes, then flip onto a plate and serve with ice cream.

For the apple crispy buns, slice an apple horizontally, remove the core, and wrap in puff pastry strips.

Dip in a mixture of 2 tbsp of sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon, then in beaten egg, and bake at 180° C for 20 minutes.
