Ruby the Quilter

Tried this recipe this evening for an anniversary dinner for some dear friends. I was a little nervous about using a new recipe so had a back up. This is a great dessert and looks pretty in a goblet or a wind glass. (recipe is from the Taste of Home cookbook) The warm apples slightly melt the ice cream Easy Easy!
3 large tart apple
1/4 c sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
12 shortbread cookies crushed
2 cups vanilla ice cream
whipped cream


Place 3 large tart apples peeled and coarsely chopped in a sauce pan with 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, 3/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Bring to a boil and lower heat. Cover and simmer fro 10 minutes until apples are tender. Uncover and cook for 9-11 minutes until most of the liquid is evaporated. I cooked this early and reheated it before serving.
In each goblet or parfait glass layer 1 tablespoon cookie crumbs 1/2 cup ice cream, 1/4 of the apples, top with remaining cookie crumbs and whipped cream. Serve immediately.

This looks so yummy and perfect for someone who love the pie but not the work of the crust. I, brag, brag, am a supper crust maker but other are not. They should not miss out on apple pie out of fear of a crust. I will try this !

This serves 4. Since it is soo hot here (108 yesterday and 107 today) This meant not heating up the kitchen with the oven. Will serve it all year round.

Thanks....just what I needed...another weight packing recipe! Seriously, this sounds wonderful and I can't wait to try it. (I am a terrible, terrible crust maker, so this is right up my alley).
