What you'll need:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 cup heavy cream
However many apples you want to make
1 lemon (if you don't plan on immediately serving)
1 tub vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans.)
1. Pour sugar and water into saucepan over high heat.
2. Stir occasionally until mixture is dark brown (approximately 5 minutes).
3. Turn off heat and pour heavy cream into saucepan. This will prevent mixture from hardening. Be careful because the mixture will bubble. Whisk until smooth and let it cool.
4. Slice off the tops of each apple and discard.
5. Using a knife, trace a circle around the apple. Then, use a spoon to scoop out enough of the inside to fit a scoop of ice cream. If you are not serving apples immediately, sprinkle the insides with lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
6. Fill each apple with a scoop of ice cream.
7. Drizzle caramel over each apple and sprinkle with pecans!
Enjoy! :)
