I always have apples, cinnamon, butter and brown sugar in my kitchen, but this is the first time I have specifically set out to use them as a simple topping for ice cream.
The result was frozen summer comfort!
The warm apples and cinnamon with the cold sugary vanilla made me feel like I was a kid in grandma’s backyard enjoying a summer treat. Needless to say, the ease of preparation, nostalgia and sugar fix combined for a treat that I won’t soon forget. This is a must try!
