Best 5 Cinnamon Roasted Apples With Pecans And Ice Cream Recipes

BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium sized mixing bowl add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice and mix until incorporated.
• Place in a 9x13 inch pan or 2 quart casserole dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the apples are tender. Stir once in between. Serve with ice cream or as a topping.

CINNAMON PECAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together the egg yolks and brown sugar until thick and pale brown. In a saucepan combine the milk and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Stir 1/2 cup of the milk into the egg mixture, then whisk the eggs into the pan of milk. Set aside to cool. Pass the custard mixture through a medium strainer. Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt and crema. Whisk well and refrigerate until cold.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool and then roughly chop. Pour the chilled custard mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fold in the cooled toasted pecans. Store in the freezer.

ROASTED APPLES WITH CALVADOS AND CINNAMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise down the center, and use a paring knife to scrape the seeds and pulp into the butter. To make sure not to lose any of the seeds, run your vanilla-coated knife through the butter. Add the vanilla pod to the pan, and cook the butter and vanilla over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the butter browns and smells nutty. Remove from the heat, and discard the vanilla pod.
• Cut the apples in half through the core, and carefully remove the core and seeds with a paring knife (or, for a more dramatic presentation, leave the core and stems intact). Toss the apples in a large bowl with the sugars, brown butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, Calvados, and salt. Arrange the apples, cut side up, in a roasting pan. Top each half with the remaining sugar mixture from the mixing bowl.
• Bake the apples about 40 minutes, basting them with the pan juices every 10 minutes, until the flesh has pulled away from the skin and the apples are tender and carmelized.
• Arrange the warm apples on a large platter, and pour all the remaining juices over them. Serve with cinnamon ice cream and glasses of Calvados.
• Cinnamon Ice Cream
• Place the milk, cream, cinnamon sticks, and ground cinnamon in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat, cover, and let the flavors infuse about 30 minutes.
• Bring the mixture back to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat.
• Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl. Whisk a few tablespoons of the warm cream mixture into the yolks to temper them. Slowly, add another 1/4 cup or so of the warm cream, whisking to incorporate. At this point, you can add the rest of the cream mixture in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly. Pour the mixture back into the pot and return to the stove.
• Cook the custard over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan. The custard will thicken, and when it's done will coat the back of the spatula. Strain it and chill at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. The base should be very cold before you churn it. Process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Note
• I like to leave some of the cores and stems intact-the apples are a little harder to eat, but so beautiful that way.

WARM APPLES AND ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat a medium skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Peel and quarter the apples. Core each quarter. Slice the apples up. Add butter to the skillet, then apples. Saute 7 or 8 minutes, add sugar, cinnamon and cloves and cook 2 minutes more. Spoon the sauteed apples into dessert dishes and top with ice cream, whipped cream, and garnish with grated nutmeg.

CINNAMON ICE CREAM WITH APPLE-PECAN SWIRL

Steps:

• Mix milk and 2/3 cup sugar together with an electric blender, about 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon extract with a spoon. Chill in a refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, place apples into a pot and add water to cover; heat over medium heat. Add remaining cinnamon extract, remaining ground cinnamon, light brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon white sugar, in that order, while stirring the mixture in between each addition. Cook on medium heat until apple pieces are soft to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat and pour apple mixture into a colander to drain. Transfer to a container and add pecans; allow to cool, 15 to 20 minutes. Place into a refrigerator and wait until ice cream mixture has setup for those 2 hours.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, at least 18 minutes.
• Take the top off and add your apple/pecan mixture and allow machine to mix that for you for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. At this point it should be soft-serve consistency; if hard-serve is desired place cinnamon ice cream with apple-pecan swirl into a freezer to setup for 1 additional hour.
