Apple slices with ice cream

 Ingredients: For 4 people: 1 apple larger, 250 ml red wine, 4 large tablespoons of honey, ground cinnamon, ice cream, 4 scoops, with liquid whipped cream, grated chocolate

To create a delicious and refined dessert, start by peeling a fresh apple, choosing a high-quality one that has a crisp texture and a sweet-tart flavor. Carefully remove the core so that the apple remains whole. Then, slice it into thicker rounds, about 1-1.5 cm, to achieve a pleasant texture after cooking.

In a non-stick pan, over moderate heat, place a cup of white wine, preferably a semi-dry wine, which will add a subtle flavor to the dessert. Add four tablespoons of honey, choosing a natural honey, preferably local, for an authentic taste. Don’t forget to add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon; this spice will not only provide a perfect flavor but will also add a warm and comforting aroma.

When the mixture of wine and honey starts to boil, carefully add the apple rounds. Let them cook for 30 seconds on one side, then flip them with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side. This method will allow the apples to absorb the sweet and spiced flavors of the sauce, becoming soft while still retaining their shape.

After the apple rounds have been cooked on both sides, carefully remove them to a plate, being careful not to ruin their shape. Generously pour the aromatic syrup they cooked in over each slice, adding moisture and flavor. Let them cool slightly so that the ice cream you will add does not melt.

Place a scoop of ice cream on top of each apple round, preferably a flavor that complements the taste of the apples, such as vanilla, caramel, or even pecans. To finish this delicious dessert, you can sprinkle grated chocolate on top, adding a pleasant contrast of textures and flavors. Another option is to drizzle some liquid cream or whipped cream over the dessert, which will add an element of creaminess.

The dessert can be garnished as desired, giving everyone the opportunity to put their personal touch on this recipe. You can add toasted nuts, coconut flakes, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra sweetness. This simple yet elegant recipe will surely impress anyone who tastes it.
