How to Make Apple Salad Bananas Foster Style

  1. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced apples and brown sugar to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are softened and slightly caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Cook for another minute, allowing spices to bloom.
  4. If using, add rum and cook for 30 seconds, or until the alcohol cooks off (be careful with the flame!).
  5. Stir in pecans or walnuts (if using).
  6. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
