Ingredients

2 Golden Delicious apples
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Creamy Custard Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Wash and dry apples. Cut the apples in half and remove the core but leave any stems intact. Place apples in baking dish. Divide butter among each core cavity. Top each apple half with a tablespoon of sugar and dash with cinnamon.

Bake apples until the flesh is tender and they're bubbly and perfect looking, about 30 minutes. Serve with Creamy Custard Sauce.

Creamy Custard Sauce:

1/2 pint light vanilla ice cream, melted (recommended: Ben and Jerry's)

2 egg yolks

Heat the melted ice cream in a small saucepan over low heat until hot. Meanwhile, put the yolks in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. While whisking, slowly drizzle about 1 or 2 tablespoons hot melted ice cream into the yolks until blended. While whisking constantly, slowly add the rest of the hot liquid to the yolk mixture. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and return to low heat.

Fun easy dessert
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Apples are very easy to make and relatively healthy: each serving is half an apple, some butter, some brown sugar, and a... little cinnamon. I didn't have any ice cream to make the cream sauce with, so I improvised and used non-fat plain yogurt, two egg yolks, vanilla, and brown sugar, brought it to a simmer while whisking, and then used as a custard topping. It was great! And way healthier. But seriously. It's dessert. Don't fool yourself. If you're on a diet, substitute with water.Read more

what is this mess?
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made this on the basis of a 5 star review and now i have to give it one star to help bring this rating down and help avert... people like myself getting duped. This recipe is not healthy, not to mention boring and kind of disgusting when you come down to it [melt a pint of ben and jerrys with some raw egg??!]. The end result is okkaaayy, but certainly not worth 5 stars.Read more

Fantastic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this tonight for dinner as a desert it was fantastic matter a fact unbelievable. The flavors that danced around in my... mouth made me hum as I was eating eat. I wish I had more stomachs so I could eat another one. I just recently discovered Dave; in the future I will look at his recipes on the internet first. I made one of his pork tenderloin recipes for dinner and it was wonderful.Read more

Not sweet enough for me.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The sauce was delicious, but the dish as a whole was not sweet enough.
