How to Make Bourbon Flamed Apples
- Peel, core, and slice 2 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Gala) into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- In a medium bowl, toss the apple slices with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
- Stir in 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and cook for another 2 minutes, until the sugar is melted and slightly caramelized.
- Carefully add 1/4 cup bourbon to the skillet. **Important:** Use caution when adding the bourbon as it is highly flammable. Tilt the skillet slightly away from you. Light the bourbon using a long match or lighter, allowing the flames to subside naturally. Gently shake the pan to distribute the flames evenly (but keep your face and hands a safe distance!).
- Once the flames have completely subsided, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the warm Bourbon Flamed Apples immediately over a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of crème fraîche.
