Baked Apple With Cinnamon Bourbon Caramel Sauce Food

CARAMEL-BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• For the apples: Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Put the apples in a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof dish.
• Combine the cider, caramels, cinnamon, salt and ginger in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring often, until the caramels are melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the mixture over the apples and bake on the bottom oven rack, basting every 20 minutes, until the apples are very tender and glossy, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer the apples to a platter; transfer the cider mixture to a medium saucepan.
• For the streusel: Combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Spread on the prepared baking sheet and bake on the top oven rack, stirring halfway through, until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then break into bite-size pieces.
• Bring the cider mixture to a boil over high heat and cook, whisking frequently, until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream. Transfer to a bowl set in a large bowl of ice water. Once cold, stir in the buttermilk.
• Pour the cider cream onto a large rimmed platter and place the apples on top. Sprinkle with the streusel and dust with confectioners' sugar.

BAKED APPLE WITH CINNAMON BOURBON CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• For Apple:.
• Mix the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon to form a paste. Stuff the paste into the cored apple, then wrap the apple with the pastry. Use remaining pastry to add a decorative touch. Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F.
• For Sauce:.
• Place the sugar in a pan with 3 to 4 tablespoons of water. Allow this to boil until it turns a rich amber color (232°F) on a candy thermometer).
• Remove from heat and whip in the butter and cream. Season with cinnamon. Stir in the bourbon. Pour over baked apple and serve.

BAKED APPLE SLICES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a very large, microwave-safe mixing bowl, heat the butter in the microwave until it melts. If your bowl is not microwave safe, melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or in a saucepan on the stove, then pour it into the larger bowl.
• To the mixing bowl, add the apple slices, honey, cornstarch, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and bourbon. Stir to coat.
• Pour the mixture into a deep 9x9 or similarly sized baking dish. Pour any liquid that has collected in the bottom of the bowl over the top.
• Bake the apples for 25 minutes, until fork tender but not completely mushy.
• Serve hot, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream as desired.

BAKED APPLES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Core the apples. Using a paring knife, score a ring around the midriff of each apple, just cutting through the skin to prevent the apples from bursting during baking. Stuff the apples with the figs and almonds. Set on a baking sheet, and bake until puffed up and soft all the way through, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the sugar in a saucepan with a spoonful of water, and boil to a golden caramel, about 5 minutes, depending on how much water you've added. Do not stir the sugar with a spoon, gently swirl the saucepan over the heat until the desired color. You want a nice rich caramel color, but don't let it get too dark.
• Serve the baked apples warm from the oven with the sauce poured over and with a generous slump of cinnamon whipped cream or creme fraiche on the side.

FRIED APPLES WITH BOURBON CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the butter over high in a 12 inch skillet until frothy. Add the apples. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in water, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook covered, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Syrup will become thick, apples soft, and pan almost dry. Add the cream and cook, uncovered, until juice is syrupy, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in bourbon. Let stand another minute to allow alcohol to evaporate.
