Great comfort food. Best to make fresh but you can prepare the apples well ahead of time and just refrigerate until ready to bake. They'll brown up a little bit from exposure to air but that won't matter once they're cooked, all bubbly, brown and delicious.

Provided by Dave Lieberman

Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Golden Delicious apples
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Creamy Custard Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 pint light vanilla ice cream, melted (recommended: Ben and Jerry's)
2 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Bake apples until the flesh is tender and they're bubbly and perfect looking, about 30 minutes. Serve with Creamy Custard Sauce.
  • Heat the melted ice cream in a small saucepan over low heat until hot. Meanwhile, put the yolks in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. While whisking, slowly drizzle about 1 or 2 tablespoons hot melted ice cream into the yolks until blended. While whisking constantly, slowly add the rest of the hot liquid to the yolk mixture.

Tips for Baking Apples:

  • Choose the right apples: Select firm, tart apples that hold their shape well during baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Prepare the apples: Core the apples, but leave the skin on for added flavor and nutrients. You can also peel the apples if desired.
  • Add flavorings: To enhance the natural sweetness of the apples, consider adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, as well as sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar.
  • Enhance with toppings: For a delightful crunch, sprinkle oats, nuts, or streusel topping on the apples before baking.
  • Bake until tender: The baking time may vary depending on the type of apples and the desired texture. Generally, bake the apples for 30-45 minutes at 375°F (190°C) or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
