Caramel Apple Profiteroles Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Profiteroles

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, then add flour all at once. Stir until it forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pipe small mounds onto a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Bake the Profiteroles

   Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool.

3. 3

   Roast the Apples

   In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook until apples are tender and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Spiced Walnuts

   In a pan, toast walnuts over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until nuts are coated and sticky. Remove from heat and let cool.

5. 5

   Make the Ice Cream

   In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, salted caramel sauce, and vanilla extract. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze until firm.

6. 6

   Assemble the Dessert

   Cut the cooled profiteroles in half. Fill them with roasted apples and a scoop of salted caramel ice cream. Top with spiced walnuts and drizzle with extra caramel sauce if desired.
