Ingredients

• 4 large Granny Smith apples
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar

• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cups Caramel sauce
• 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
• 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Granny Smith apples, core them, and slice them into thin, even wedges.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble slightly.

Step 4

Add the sliced apples to the skillet and toss them in the caramel-like mixture until evenly coated.

Step 5

Cook the apples over medium heat for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.

Step 6

While the apples cook, warm the caramel sauce in a small saucepan or microwave until it is pourable, but not too hot.

Step 7

Once the apples are ready, remove them from the heat and divide them evenly into serving bowls or dessert plates.

Step 8

Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the warm apples in each serving.

Step 9

Drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the apples and ice cream.

Step 10

Optionally, sprinkle powdered sugar and chopped pecans on top for added garnish and texture.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy this deliciously warm and sweet dessert!
