Apple time is the most beautiful time? yes? I think so, especially when you consider how versatile these little power fruits are. I was looking for a delicious dessert with apples that (pretty much) everyone would enjoy. Since I am a big fan of nuts Vanilla ice cream and apples, the idea was already born. Then just combine and voila, here is the dessert of your dreams. Really funny, because unknowingly I already did it once about two years ago. At the time I had friends over (and still my old kitchen) and it went over really well. Well then, it’s time for a revival.
Caramelized nuts just always go …
30 minutes and a handful of ingredients, that’s all you need. Let’s start with the apples, here goes almost any variety. However, you should do a little taste test beforehand, because the beauties should not be too sour. Otherwise, you run the risk of your blackheads making a face as if they had just swallowed a pack of fizzy drinks. Gala, Granny Smith, magpie are just a few varieties that fit wonderfully. The apples are then just quartered, sliced and caramelized with coconut sugar, cinnamon, ginger and a little lemon juice in a pan and cooked until soft. Cornstarch ensures that everything thickens nicely and becomes almost a bit creamy.
I’m getting (vegan) nuts
The apples cook away and in parallel the pecans stew in the oven. Thanks to the coconut blossom sugar and maple syrup, this develops a great caramel layer that is simply irresistible. Actually, you don’t even need the rest, because the caramelized nuts are simply heavenly.
And how does the whole thing now become an irresistibly delicious Dessert ? By adding a few more scoops homemade vanilla ice cream on top and maybe topping with Coconut cream topping. So now that’s enough of all the theory, I’d say let’s go ahead and indulge in this delicious, brilliant dessert composition. Who’s in?
