Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly darker in color. Be sure to stir them halfway through to ensure even roasting.
- Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool. Once cooled, roughly chop them and set aside.
- While the pecans are roasting, peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
- In a large skillet, add the brown sugar and water. Heat over medium flame, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble.
- Add the apple slices to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the sugar mixture.
- Sprinkle the ground nutmeg over the apples.
- Continue to cook the apples for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and coated in a caramel-like sauce. The sauce should thicken slightly as it cooks.
- Once the apples are done, remove them from the heat.
- Sprinkle the roasted pecans over the warm caramelised apples.
- Serve the caramelised apples warm, either on their own or over ice cream, pancakes, or yogurt for an extra treat.
Tips:
- Choosing Apples: For the best texture and flavor, use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They hold up well during the caramelisation process.
- Roasting Pecans: Roast pecans in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and toasted. Be careful not to burn them.
- Caramelising Sugar: When caramelising the brown sugar, stir continuously to prevent it from burning. The sugar will melt and turn a deep amber color.
- Adding Spices: Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or cloves along with the nutmeg for added warmth and complexity.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the caramelised apples immediately after cooking to enjoy them at their best. They can also be served over pancakes, waffles, or even oatmeal for a decadent breakfast treat.
Once you’ve successfully caramelised the apples and roasted the pecans, you’ll have a scrumptious dessert that is both comforting and sophisticated. Serve it warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, for a truly indulgent experience. Enjoy your delicious caramelised apples with roasted pecans!
