Whether it’s biscuits, cookies, or muffins, there’s no question about the digestive and nutritive benefits of desserts. However, most people are drawn to the relaxation, comfort, and happiness they bring along.
If you are interested in adding a blissful touch to a delicious meal, then you should try the apple bowl ice cream that’s currently making waves. Here, we’ll show you how it’s done.

The heavenly combination of ice cream and apple pie has already blown away many people. There’s little or nothing that can be compared to the sweetness of a vanilla ice cream scoop alongside some warm, delicious apple pie.
But we’ve got even more palatable and exciting news for you. Ice cream and apple pies can get even better.

When you hear “apple bowls,” your mind probably goes to those apple-shaped glass bowls. While those are cool, we aren’t referring to glassware. We are talking about bowls made of real apples. Sounds exciting, right? If you are familiar with pineapple bowls for hosting sumptuous fried rice and chicken Teriyaki, then you aren’t so much of a stranger to the apple bowl concept.

Ice cream in a ceramic or glass bowl is great. But how about taking things a notch higher? Having your ice cream in an edible vessel is more fun and fulfilling; at least, that’s what most people who’ve tried it will tell you.
All you need to do is bore a wide hole into an apple, and you are halfway set. Now that you are probably convinced it could be a great idea let’s show you how it’s done.

It’s pretty simple. Just cut into the fruit, removing all its insides, until you are left with what looks as close to a cup or bowl as possible. The mission is to create space for a scoop of ice cream.
Apples that are fresh and raw will play the role perfectly. But if you’d love more adventure, you could bake your apples and have them cool down before introducing your ice cream.

Before you rush off, please note that some varieties of apples will do a better job than others. Of course, larger apples are more suitable for the job as they can afford larger holes.
Also, apples with a full, rounded shape will serve the purpose better because their ability to stay upright without help while holding the ice cream is a huge plus for the fun.

If you want further insight into your choice of apples, we recommend the same types you would use for a homemade apple pie. Specifically, we’d suggest Granny Smiths, Cortland, Jonagold, and Honeycrisps.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. Feel free to choose the variety that appeals most to your taste buds and is solid enough for the operation.

There are two ways to cut apples. You could first slice off a top layer of the fruit before digging into the inside with a sturdy spoon or melon scooper.
If your apple is significantly larger than usual, you could first cut it into two horizontal halves and cut into each piece. This way, you have a larger diameter, which is easier to cut into.

Alternatively, you could bake the apples for up to 20 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. But before that, don’t forget to first slather it in brown sugar and butter. If you’d love it, you could add some sprinkles of Cinnamon.
Here’s another cool idea: if you’d love your apples to emerge as similar to an apple pie as possible, you could dress the apple with puff pastry, lining it with a pie crust.

If baking your ice cream bowl appeals to you, you should let it cool a little bit after baking so it can maintain its shape. Your ice cream must already be itching to get into the hollow.
What’s left is to scoop in your ice cream, arm yourself with a spoon, and dig in. It’s all yours to enjoy.

You can add some toppings to add some more excitement and boost the aesthetics. Caramel is a more than worthy candidate, so introduce some caramel sauce.
You can spread some caramel sauce on your baked apple bowl before the ice cream arrives, and you can also spread some more of the sauce on the ice cream for extra flavor.

Any of your favorite toppings are free to go on your ice cream, including caramel. Whipped cream is another deserving option. You could get more creative by adding some crunchiness, and that’s where crushed pecans can come in.
If you don’t mind, don’t forget cinnamon. A sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on the cream’s surface won’t be out of place—basically, anything to enrich your dessert and brighten your mood.
