I love baked apples – they look spooky, they taste yummy, and they are perfect this time of year. I also love ice cream, and making a cinnamon ice cream to go on top is always very fun! We love playing around with new desserts, and whether you make the ice cream to enjoy on some warm apples or make the baked apples and add whipped cream. I am happy to share my recipe for baked apples and cinnamon ice cream for you to try this autumn.
Baked Apples
Ingredients
- 4 Apples
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 4 dollops Butter
Instructions
- Using a pairing knife or an apple core device, cut the core out of your apples, making sure to get the seeds and all of the tuff apple bits out.
- Chop your raisins roughly.
- Mix together brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins in a bowl.
- Stuff the middle of the apple with your raisin mix.
- Place the apples into a baking dish and add a dollop of butter to the top of each one.
- Put the apples in a 190 degree Celsius, pre-heated oven.
- Add boiling water to the base of the baking dish, enough to cover the bottom, and bake for 30 to 45 minutes
If you are going to make the ice cream for your baked apples, you will want to make it the day before. This is because it does take a long time to cool completely and harden the right way to be scooped. If you are putting it directly on warm apples, it will melt so fast if it has not sat long enough in the oven! I don’t mind too much, but you might.
Cinnamon Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 280 ml Double Cream
- 300 ml Milk
- 115g Sugar
- 1 tbsp Vanilla
- 2 tbsp Cinnamon
- 3 Egg Yolks
Instructions
- Put your freezer bowl for your ice cream maker in the freezer the day before.
- Add half the sugar, all of the milk and all of the cream to a pot on your stove and cook at low heat until almost boiling.
- Add vanilla and cinnamon, set aside.
- Add the rest of the sugar and the egg yolks to another bowl and beat until ribbon stages.
- Add 125ml of the now cooled milk mixture to the eggs, slowly, while beating as to not scramble the eggs.
- Heat back up the rest of the milk mixture, then slowly add that to the egg mixture, while whisking.
- Put this custard into the freezer or fridge until cold.
- Add the ice cream to your ice cream machine and let it mix until your machine is done.
- If you want the ice cream to be thicker, add it to a container and put it in your freezer!
