Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick plus 2 tablespoons salted butter
4 Granny Smith apples, finely diced
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pints vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to a skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Add the apples and saute for 5 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet over medium heat, add the brown sugar and the remaining stick of butter. Stir it around until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, then pour in the cream. Stir it around and let it bubble up and thicken for about a minute. Turn the heat to low and add the apples back to the skillet. Sprinkle in the cinnamon, stir the mixture and let it thicken for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Spoon big scoops of vanilla ice cream into sundae glasses and drizzle over the caramel apple sauce.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter
4 medium-size, Granny Smith apples (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup salted cocktail peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add apples and saute, turning occasionally for even cooking, until slightly golden and softened but still holding its shape, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add sugar and water. Stir occasionally and watch closely until color just starts to change to golden-amber, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and carefully add cream (mixture will bubble and release steam). Gently stir until bubbles subside slightly, and put back over very low heat. Stir in remaining tablespoon butter, vanilla, and salt, and remove from heat. Set aside to thicken slightly.
Disperse apples into 4 serving bowls and spoon warm caramel sauce over to cover. Top each with a scoop of ice cream, spoon more caramel over the top, and garnish with peanuts.
