Finishing Steps

Step 0
When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Carefully remove the apples from the bag and transfer to a plate.
-
Step 1
Strain the cooking liquid into a large saucepan. Bring the liquid to a rapid simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer until the liquid can coat the bag of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
-
Step 2
Cut the apples in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Divide between 4 serving plates.
-
Step 3
Serve apples topped with ice cream and the reduced sauce. A little caramel sauce doesn’t hurt, either.
