Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into approximately 1/4-inch slices.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced apples and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 3
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the apples. Stir well to coat evenly and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and remove the skillet from heat.
Step 5
To assemble the sundaes, place one scoop of vanilla ice cream into a serving bowl or glass. Top with a generous spoonful of the warm sautéed apples.
Step 6
Drizzle caramel sauce over the apples, then sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
Step 7
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and serve immediately.
