Ingredients:
3 apples, peeled cored and sliced
1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ¼ cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons Calvados
1 ½ cups heavy cream
Cinnamon ice cream
Nuts and oats
Directions:
Sprinkle the apples with the lemon juice and set aside. Melt the butter over medium heat and dissolve the sugar in it. This should take about 15 minutes. Add the apples, their juice and the salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook about 10 minutes. Add the Calvados and ½ cup cream. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cool by placing in a larger bowl of ice water. Whisk the remaining cream until peaks form. Layer equal amounts of the apples and the ice cream in a dish. Top with the cream, oats and nuts.
