Ingredients
- 2 1/2 medium Gala apples
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3/4 quart high-quality vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Core apples and thinly slice, cutting each slice in half.
- Spread sugar evenly in a large skillet set over medium heat. Let the sugar sit, untouched, until it begins to melt.
- Using a fork, stir the sugar until completely it has completely melted and turned medium caramel brown.
- Remove from the heat and slowly add the cream. Stand back a little because it will foam and may splatter a little.
- Return to the heat and whisk until the sauce is smooth. Set over low heat, whisking occasionally, until ready to use.
- In the meantime, melt butter in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook until the apples are beginning to turn brown.
- Add the apples to the caramel sauce and stir until they are coated.
- Using four bowls or short glasses, layer the ice cream with the caramel apples, drizzling the extra caramel sauce over top. Serve immediately.
