Hot Spiced Apples with Dulce de Leche Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 2 Golden Delicious apples, cored and chopped

  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

  • A pinch of salt

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2-3 tablespoons dark rum (optional)

  • 1 pint dulce de leche ice cream

Directions

In a medium bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
