Ingredients
Note: Thaw pie crust in advance
- 1 frozen pie crust, thawed and baked (I use an all butter free gluten free pie crust from Whole Foods Market)
- 1 stick butter
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 4 green Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- Cinnamon and sugar for sprinkling crust
- 2 T melted butter
- Good Quality Vanilla Ice Cream (I love me some Häagen-Daazs)
- Caramelized Walnuts (store bought or see link above to learn to make your own
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place rack in center of oven
Crust:
- Lay thawed pie crust on a cookie sheet covered with unbleached parchment paper, press flat. Brush pie crust with 2 Tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake 10-12 minutes or until crust is slightly golden.
Apple topping:
- While crust is baking, peel, core and slice 4 apples. Melt one stick butter in large pan on medium heat. When butter is melted add brown sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon, stir. Add apple slices to melted sugar and simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally until apples are soft, about 6-8 minutes. When apples are soft turn heat off
To Serve:
- Cut baked pie crust into 8 triangles and place on dessert plates. Top each crust with a scoop of ice cream, drizzle cooked apples over ice cream. Top with chopped caramelized walnuts and serve immediately. Yum!
