This is a really quick version of apple pie a la mode with a twist. The twist is that pound cake, pecan ice cream and caramel sauce is used. The dessert is absolutely delicious and for my family, a comfort food. Read more . Breathing in the sweet aroma of caramelizing apples is wonderful too! =D Ingredients:
warm apple compote |
4 t. unsalted butter |
1/4 c. firmly packed light brown sugar |
3 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced |
assembly |
1 loaf plain pound cake, sliced 1 1/2-inch thick and slightly toasted (i used the broiler to toast both sides) |
1 pint of pecan ice cream |
1 14 1/2 ounce jar of prepared caramel sauce, warmed. . .you won't need the whole jar |
Directions:
1. Make Compote:
