Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 crisp (firm fleshed apples (I used Envy))
  • 1 box refrigerated pie dough or enough homemade for two 9-inch crusts
  • 2 Tablespoons (approximately) ground cinnamon sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 Tablespoons (approximately) organic sugar

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit (350 convection)
  • Slice apples through the core, from top to bottom. Use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the seeds, core, and most of the flesh, creating a well in each half of the apples. You want to keep some flesh, but remove enough to make room for the ice cream later!
  • Use a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter to cut 6 circles out of the pastry dough. (If you have leftover dough, sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar and bake it up to serve as garnish with your apples!
  • Sprinkle each apple half with some cinnamon sugar, then place the apples cut side down onto a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Use a pastry brush to apply a thin layer of melted butter onto each crust. Sprinkle with organic sugar and place into the heated oven.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Remove pan from oven and allow apples to rest on pan for a minute before using a spatula to transfer them to plates for serving.
  • Fill with ice cream flavor of your choice. Would also be awesome filled with fruit compote or oatmeal for a brunch treat!
