- 4 whole Granny Smith apples
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 0.25 cup Pecans or walnuts
- 0.25 cup Caramel sauce
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples. Stir well to coat the apples evenly.
Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender and the sugar has caramelized into a syrupy consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract and remove the skillet from heat.
Toast the pecans or walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the sundaes by placing one scoop of vanilla ice cream in each serving bowl.

Sprinkle toasted nuts on top, then drizzle with caramel sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your caramelized apple sundaes!
