BROWN SUGAR BOURBON APPLES IN 3 EASY STEPS
- Start cooking the apples in butter and then add your nuts.
- As the goodies in the pan become nicely cooked, add your bourbon, brown sugar and spices for a whole bunch of flavor.
- Then, when you’ve got a nice gooey, sugary mixture add a good bit of heavy cream. Oh yeah. Heavy cream. I never said brown sugar bourbon apples dessert wasn’t sinfully decadent.
Once you’ve got your beautiful brown sugar bourbon apples all cooked down, the rest is up to you. For our recipe, we decided to make a nice whipped cream and put it all over a piece of toasted pound cake.
I would suggest doing the same if you can keep yourself from eating all of the brown sugar bourbon apples right out of the pan. You might be thinking to yourself that whipped cream and pound cake are just making an already decadent dessert even more decadent. But did I mention that we buttered the pound cake? So naughty!
