Honey-Caramel Ice Cream with Apples
Honey-Caramel Ice Cream with Apples
I made this recipe and took it to a friend’s for dinner. The short story? It was a big hit. If you can imagine guests standing around the kitchen, asking for a chance just to smell the pan the sauce was in, you get a sense of the scene.
And then there was the out and out drooling…
