Trim the leek, cut into rings, and wash thoroughly in a sieve. Peel the apple and cut into pieces or wedges. Sauté the leek in half of the butter for about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan. Melt the remaining butter and let the sugar caramelize. Reduce the heat and add the apple pieces, sauté briefly, and then deglaze with sherry or wine and water or stock.
