The Best Apple Flambé Recipe
Apple Flambé is a quick, show-stopping dessert that turns simple ingredients into something extraordinary in minutes! It’s warm, buttery, and caramelized with just enough drama from the flames to seriously impress.
Ingredients
- 2 Apples
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- Pinch of Cinnamon
- 2 oz or more Brandy or bourbon
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sugar and let it melt until it turns a light amber color (about 2 minutes). Be careful not to burn it.
- Add the butter to the caramelized sugar and stir until smooth.
- Add the apple slices and toss to coat them in the caramel. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the apples are slightly softened.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the apples.
- Pour the brandy or bourbon into the skillet. Carefully ignite the alcohol with a long lighter or match. Let the flames burn out naturally.
- Serve the caramelized apples warm over with ice cream.
Notes
Homemade apple flambé is best enjoyed right after cooking so the caramel stays smooth and the apples don’t over-soften. If you have leftovers, you can store in the fridge for later and then use as a topping on ice cream, waffles, or yogurt!
