Method:
- Place the lid on a 3L slow cooker and set it to high while you prepare the dumplings.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar into a bowl. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs. Make a well in the center and add the milk, grated apple, and salt and use a flat-bladed butter knife to mix the dough until it comes together. Divide into 12 and gently roll into balls.
- Make the caramel: Combine the golden syrup, brown sugar, butter, cream, and water into a medium saucepan over a medium-low heat. Cook while stirring until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is smooth. Then bring to the boil and remove from the heat. Add the bourbon and stir through.
- Pour half of the caramel into the slow cooker. Gently place the dumplings into the caramel and pour the remaining caramel over the top. Cook, covered for approximately 1 hour- 1 1/2 hours or until the dumplings are cooked through. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
