Roasted Apples With Calvados And Cinnamon Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread pecans in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish; toast until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pecans, and set aside (or store in a resealable plastic bag, up to 1 day).
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water. One at a time (to prevent them from turning brown), halve apples through the stem end, core, using a melon baller, and immediately toss with sugar mixture.
• Arrange apples, cut side down, in baking dish; pour sugar mixture over. Tuck in cinnamon sticks; cover dish with foil. Bake until apples are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve apples with ice cream, topped with pan juices and pecans. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, if desired.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fill center of each apple with 2 pieces butter, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until apples are soft but not falling apart, about 30 minutes. (Apples may crack as they soften; if they do, remove from oven.) Serve immediately with ice cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix together the breadcrumbs, apricots, cinnamon sugar, butter and zest.
• Using an apple corer, remove the centre of each apple, then score the skin across the equator so they don't collapse during roasting.
• Pack the filling into the apples, then sit them snugly into an ovenproof dish. Mix together the orange juice and 150ml water and pour round the apples. Roast for 40-50 mins until nicely browned and very soft, but still just holding their shape. Serve with the sticky pan juices and custard or ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• In saucepan melt butter over medium heat.
• Add sugar, raisins, lemon juice and Calvados.
• Cook stirring occasionally until sugar has melted.
• Pour sugar mixture in jelly roll pan.
• Arrange apples cut side down in sauce.
• Roast without turning aboaut 20 minutes until very soft.
• Place about 1/2 cup icecream in each of 6 dessert bowls.
• Top with 2 warm apples and drizzle with syrup.

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.
