APPLE CRUMBLE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM
Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium.
- Place apples in a medium bowl and toss with the oil. Place the apples on the grill, cut-side down and grill until nicely browned. Flip the apples over and continue to grill until nicely browned on skin side. Remove from the grill and allow to cool briefly.
- Once they are cool enough to handle, core and cut the apples into wedges. Place the apple wedges into a bowl and toss with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 4 tablespoons light brown sugar and 1/2 stick melted butter.
- In another bowl, toss together the remaining melted butter, cinnamon, light brown sugar and the granola.
- Place 1 large scoop of ice cream into 4 bowls and top with the apple mixture. Sprinkle the granola mixture over the top of the apple and drizzle with some of the caramel sauce, if using.
APPLES WITH CALVADOS AND ICE CREAM
Steps:
- Peel the apples, and cut them into 12 slices, making sure to remove the cores and stems. There should be about 4 cups.
- Melt the butter in a skillet, and add the apple slices and the lemon peel. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and cook over medium-high heat, gently stirring the apples and shaking the skillet so that they cook evenly. When the apples start to brown, add the Calvados. Turn up the heat, and tilt the pan. Then ignite the sauce with a long match. (The alcohol will burn off quickly.) Blend well.
- Put a scoop of ice cream into each of four individual serving dishes. Pour the apples on top and serve.
