•1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
•4 tablespoons butter, melted
•3/4 cup sugar
•1/3 cup rum or 1/2 cup maple syrup
•2 pints vanilla ice cream
Directions:
Turn on broiler. Toss the apples with the lemon juice, butter, and all but 2 tablespoons of the sugar. (Can be made to this point up to 1 day ahead. Store in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate.) Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Broil the apples about 8 inches from the heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and broil until melted.
Meanwhile, heat the rum or maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat.
Serve the apples warm with vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with the warm syrup.
