    Ingredients

    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 12 apples, such as Gala or Macoun
    • 1 lemon, halved
    • 3 pints vanilla ice cream
    • 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts

    Directions

    1. Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan over high heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is dark, about 6 minutes. Remove
      from heat, and carefully pour in cream (mixture will spatter); whisk until smooth. Let cool.

    2. Slice the top 3/4 inch from each apple; discard. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out enough flesh to fit a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with some lemon juice to prevent flesh from browning.

    3. Fill each apple with a scoop of ice cream. Spoon caramel on top, and sprinkle with walnuts.

      The sugar & water mix must be wrong. I used one cup of organic sugar and it was totally dry in the pot w only 1 TB of water. It never melted & burnt in the pan. All the other recipes I searched had butter in them. (I make toffee every year, that's butter, sugar & some water.) I watched the show that morning but not closely enough to remember. I just used caramel sauce I had in a jar. Also, the apples are better cooked, so you can easily cut them w a fork and eat with the ice cream & caramel.
