Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
Instructions
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into approximately 1/4-inch slices.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced apples and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the apples. Stir well to coat evenly and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized.
Stir in the vanilla extract and remove the skillet from heat.
To assemble the sundaes, place one scoop of vanilla ice cream into a serving bowl or glass. Top with a generous spoonful of the warm sautéed apples.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the apples, then sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and serve immediately.
