The caramel apple takes a sophisticated turn in this dessert. Baked with butter, sugar, ginger, and cinnamon, the fruit goes soft and spicy before you finish it with a rich caramel sauce that's mostly made in the oven, plus vanilla ice cream and crushed store-bought amaretto cookies.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup dark-brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon unfiltered apple-cider vinegar
4 to 5 firm red baking apples, such as Empire or Honeycrisp (2 pounds total)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (from a peeled 1-inch piece)
Pinch of kosher salt
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Vanilla ice cream and crushed amaretto cookies, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together both sugars, butter, and vinegar until well combined. Spread mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Peel and core apples, then slice into 3/4-inch-thick rounds. Toss with cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a bowl. Place on top of sugar mixture in a single layer, overlapping slightly if needed. Cover with parchment-lined foil and bake until just beginning to soften and bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Spoon sauce over apples, and increase heat to 450 degrees. Continue to bake, uncovered, until sauce thickens and apples are soft and brown, about 15 minutes more.
  • Divide apples evenly among 4 bowls. Whisk cream into liquid in baking dish to make a caramel sauce. Transfer to a bowl; let cool until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Top apples with ice cream, caramel sauce, and cookies; serve.

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

3 tablespoons butter
4 medium-size, Granny Smith apples (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Stir in remaining tablespoon butter, vanilla, and salt, and remove from heat. Set aside to thicken slightly.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe apples: For the best flavor and texture, use apples that are ripe and in season. Avoid apples that are bruised or have brown spots.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different varieties of apples have different flavors and textures, so using a mix of apples will give your sundaes a more complex and interesting flavor.
  • Peel and core the apples: Before cooking the apples, peel and core them. This will help to remove the skin and seeds, which can be tough and unpleasant to eat.
  • Cook the apples: The apples can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as boiling, baking, or sautéing. Cooking the apples will help to soften them and bring out their flavor.
  • Add sugar and spices: To enhance the flavor of the apples, add sugar and spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice. The amount of sugar and spices you add will depend on your personal preference.
  • Cool the apples: Once the apples are cooked, let them cool completely before assembling the sundaes.
  • Choose your favorite ice cream: The type of ice cream you use is up to you. Vanilla, chocolate, and caramel are all popular choices.
  • Add toppings: Toppings can help to add flavor and texture to your sundaes. Popular toppings include whipped cream, chocolate chips, nuts, and fruit.
