Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup sugar over medium heat until amber, about 5 minutes. Immediately pour into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the 2 cups camel milk, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 3 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Pour the mixture over the caramel in the dish.
Step 3
Place the dish in a larger baking pan; add hot water to reach halfway up the sides. Bake until the flan is set but jiggles slightly in the center, about 35-40 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the flan from the water bath and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully chilled.
Step 5
To serve, run a knife around the edge, invert onto a plate, and let the caramel sauce flow over. Top with 2 tablespoons pine nuts, thin apple slices, and 4 mint leaves.
Step 6
Slice and serve chilled. The caramel will be liquid and the flan silky smooth.
