Ingredients
- 4-6 granny smith apples, peeled, cored & halved
- 1 ½ cups Bourbon
- ⅓ cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons, plus the zest of 1 lemon, reserved)
- 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ brown sugar
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Caramel sauce
- Chopped walnuts
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the Bourbon, lemon juice and zest, and 2 tablespoons vanilla. Place the apple halves in a large flat container and pour the liquid over the apples, basting a few times. Cover and allow the apples to macerate in the liquid for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In another small bowl, mix the 2 teaspoons vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Rub the cinnamon-sugar mixture all over each apple and place the cut side down in a large baking dish. Pour some of the macerated liquid in the bottom of the pan and cover with foil loosely. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until the apples are tender. Build the apples in a bowl topped with ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, chopped walnuts, and a cherry on top.
