Make a blooming baked apple sundae, aka the best sundae of your life:This trick makes a perfect baked apple for one. 1. Slice the top off the apple. 2. Use a melon baller, metal measuring spoon, or small knife to remove just the core. 3. Use a small paring knife to slice two concentric circles straight down surrounding the center.
4. Flip the apple upside down. Without slicing through the base, make narrow parallel cuts all the way around.
5. Flip the apple right-side up, place it in a ramekin, and fill it with caramel sauce, a soft caramel candy, or a couple tablespoons of brown sugar. Add a few pads of butter and some cinnamon. 6. Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes or until tender, and top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and another sprinkle of cinnamon.
