This is not my recipe, but it is definitely worth sharing. I think it was either Southern Living or Cuisine Magazine, but what a great dessert. A thick shake that tastes like a caramel apple. Made with granny smith apples, vanilla ice cream and apple cider and topped with of course, caramel sauce and whipped cream. Ingredients:
3 cups granny smith apples, diced (skins on) |
4 cups vanilla ice cream |
1 cup apple cider (you could use apple juice, but cider to be was much better) |
1 teaspoon vanilla, extra |
1/2 caramel sauce |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
whipped cream |
caramel sauce |
salted peanuts (chopped) |
Directions:
1. Apples - Mix the apples with the lemon juice and toss well until all the lemons are coated with the lemon juice. This will prevent them from browning. Then place on a small plate or baking sheet and freeze at least 20 minutes. You want them slightly frozen.
2. Shake - After the the apples have been frozen, add them to the blender with the ice cream apple cider, caramel sauce and vanilla extract and blend well.
3. Serving and Topping - Pour into your favorite glasses and top with whipped cream, drizzled with caramel sauce and the salted peanuts. I think the original recipe called for a salted nut candy bar (like a Payday) which was very good, but the second time I made it I just used salted peanuts which was just as good.
4. Just enjoy!
