Method

Well ahead, make the Cider Butter as described.
About 1 hour before you want to serve, make the Mulled Wine: mix all the ingredients together in a pan and bring to the boil.
Drop the apple quarters for the flans into the boiling mulled wine, remove the pan from the heat and allow them to cool in the wine.
