Baked apples with cinnamon, pecans, and ice cream

Ingredients

Pecan - 1 cup
Brown Sugar - ¼ cup
Meyer Lemon Juice - 2 tablespoons
Cinnamon - 4 pieces
Crabapples - 4 pieces
Vanilla Ice Cream - 2 lbs

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 3–5 minutes. Let cool.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the sugar, lemon juice, and ¼ cup of water.

Step 3

Cut the apples in half lengthwise (from stem to bottom) and remove the cores. Immediately transfer them to the syrup to prevent browning.

Step 4

Then place the apples cut side down in a baking dish and pour the syrup over them. Add the cinnamon sticks nearby and cover the dish with foil. Bake until tender, about 15–20 minutes.

Step 5

Serve the apples in dessert bowls with scoops of ice cream, topped with nuts and drizzled with the syrup from the dish. You can garnish with cinnamon sticks.
