Fillin' Groovy

Ate a salad at Panera Bread tonight, but was in the mood for some dessert, so I was loooking through few of rachaels recipes and found Apples, No Pie, a la Mode. Now normally my favorite part of Apple pie with vanilla ice cream is the hot pie crust mixed with the cold ice cream....all I can say is YUMMY.....so a crust less pie i figure would be a tad different.


Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated or minced
3 Golden Delicious apples, quartered, cored and sliced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 canister whipped cream


Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the ginger and apples to warm butter, squeeze a little lemon juice over the pan and saute 4 to 5 minutes. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg to the apples and cook another 2 minutes. Spoon apples into dessert dishes and top with ice cream and whipped cream. Garnish whipped cream with a pinch more cinnamon or nutmeg.


The Verdict.......well if you read the list if ingredients, you could tell that there was NO WAY, that this would be bad and it was not. This was hot and delicious.

It was quick to make, I did cut the apples a bit smaller then Rachael called for, but it would not make a difference how you cut them.......this was DA BOMB.

Karen, since you will read this, you need to make this for your family THIS WEEKEND, and when they say "thanks mom this is great", you can say "don't thank me, thank the everloving green eyed chef from My dinners with Rachael"

Until Tomorrow.....................
