I have been on a warm apple kick lately and tonight we all felt like some­thing sweet so…

The kids helped to make this which made it taste all that much bet­ter. They did look at me funny when I added the rum but once I explained that the alco­hol wouldn’t be there when they ate it they were okay. Not some­thing I would do a lot of since the rum is grain based but it was fun set­ting it on fire and the kids thought that was cool too! You have to turn the lights off to get the full effect because it burns a light blue color that is very faint.

3 medium organic apples

1 Scoop Deca­dent Delight Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (coconut milk based)

1 Table­spoon Coconut Oil

1 Table­spoon Raw Organic Honey

Half a lemon (for juice)

Rum

Fresh Cin­na­mon Sticks (or the kind you buy in the spice section)

Sliced Raw Almonds

Heat coconut oil over medium heat and then add apples cut in to small chunks after the oil is warm. Coconut oil doesn’t take long to warm up. Add the honey. Sprin­kle the cin­na­mon over top and turn the apples. Do this again to get a good coat­ing on the apples. Saute for 15 min­utes flip­ping or turn­ing the apples often to evenly brown. Squirt the lemon juice onto the apples just before you are done cook­ing (about 2 min­utes) stir or flip some more to coat evenly.

If you are using a metal pan turn off heat and bring to the table. Place on a hot pad. If you are not using a metal pan (NO TEFLON) move the apples to a dish a ceramic dish.

Pour small amount of rum into the pan or bowl, turn out the lights, and ignite with a match or lighter. You may have to tip the dish around a bit and re-light a few times as it wants to go out some­times before the alco­hol is burned off.

Once you cant keep it burn­ing any­more add the warm apples on top of a scoop of the vanilla ice cream. Sprin­kle with a pinch of raw almond slices.

Enjoy!
