Spiced Apple Sundaes Recipes

JIM BAILEY

Steps:

• 1 Combine apple and lemon juice and toss well; set aside. 2 Place juice in a large skillet and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Stir in apples, half the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer about 5 minutes, or until apples are just tender. Remove from heat and keep warm. 3 In another skillet, add chestnuts, oatmeal, butter and sugar, stir well and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, or until sugar has melted and mixture is well coated. Remove from heat and set aside. 4 Place 1 scoop frozen yogurt to a serving dish, pour half the apple mixture over the top, followed by half the chestnut mixture. Repeat and serve immediately. 5 *Place nuts in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook until you can smell them and they are starting to darken, stirring almost constantly. Many use pecans because of their intense aroma when roasting, but almonds, macadamia and cashews are great as well. Even boiled peanuts.

APPLE SUNDAES WITH CIDER CARAMEL SAUCE

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.

HOT APPLE SUNDAES

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar, juices and cinnamon to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add apples and return to a boil. Reduce heat; over and simmer for 15 minutes or until the apples are tender. Serve warm over ice cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.

APPLE PIE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. Melt 1 tablespoon butter. Spread the melted butter over the pie crust and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely, then crumble and set aside.
• Melt the remaining tablespoon butter in a medium saute pan. Add the apples, vanilla, a pinch of salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
• Build your sundaes starting with the ice cream, dipping the scoop in a mug of hot water if necessary. Top with the sauteed apples, pie crust crumbles, caramel sauce and candied pecans. Serve immediately.

CARAMEL APPLE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Make the apples: Toss apples with lemon juice in a large bowl, and let stand. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sugar, and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is dark amber, about 15 minutes.
• Stir in apples, their juices, and the salt. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in Calvados and 1/2 cup cream. Transfer apple mixture to a bowl.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Set the bowl in the bath, and let apple mixture cool, stirring occasionally, until mixture is cold and sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes. Use immediately (or refrigerate overnight).
• To assemble: Whisk remaining 1 cup cream to medium peaks. For each serving, place 2 caramelized apple wedges in a sundae glass. Top with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream, 2 caramelized apple wedges, and some pecan-oat crumble. Repeat ice cream, apple, and crumble layers. Top with whipped cream.

SPICED APPLE TOPPING FOR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a small bowl.
• Grease a pie pan or 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Place apple slices in the prepared pan and sprinkle with flour mixture. Drizzle milk, maple syrup, and vanilla over top; toss to coat.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender (not mushy), 25 to 30 minutes.
