Apple Ice Creams with Brandy Caramel RECIPE

25g butter (we used about half a block of butter...close enough)
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
¼ cup golden syrup (we used regular pancake syrup)
¼ cup cold water
pinch salt
1x tin (400g) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla essence/extract
2 Tbsp brandy
apples
ice cream
chopped nuts (we used almonds)

(1) Place butter in a saucepan & melt gently
(2) Add brown sugar, golden syrup, water & salt
(3) Heat gently at first & stir constantly as sugar dissolves
(4) Bring to boil, still stirring, until mixture bubbles like crazy
(5) Reduce heat & add condensed milk, vanilla & brandy
(6) Stir until it’s nicely combined & a good caramel color & then take it off the heat
(7) Cut top bit off the apple & scoop out the inside stuff
(8) Fill apple with a scoop or two of ice cream, & drizzle with the warm caramel (if caramel has thickened, just gently heat it again or add one more dash of brandy)
(9) Top with chopped nuts and serve!
