Ingredients
- 4 whole Medium red apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 400 ml Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 80 ml Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 ml Corn syrup
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Red food coloring (vegan-friendly)
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the apple cups by slicing off the top of each apple and carefully hollowing out the inside with a melon baller or spoon, leaving about 1/4-inch thick walls. Set aside the scooped apple flesh for the ice cream and refrigerate the hollowed apple shells.
Step 2
For the ice cream, in a blender, combine the reserved apple flesh, coconut milk, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Step 3
Transfer the ice cream mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once churned to a soft-serve consistency, transfer to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours.
Step 4
To make the candy coating for the apple cups, combine corn syrup, granulated sugar, water, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and let the mixture come to a boil.
Step 5
Using a candy thermometer, bring the syrup to 150°C (302°F) without stirring. Once it reaches temperature, remove from heat and stir in red food coloring quickly and carefully.
Step 6
Dip the top edge of each hollowed apple into the candy mixture to create a candy-coated rim. If desired, dip repeatedly for a thicker coating. Set apples upright on parchment paper and let the candy harden, about 10 minutes.
Step 7
To assemble, scoop the chilled apple ice cream into the candy-coated apple cups and serve immediately. Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt or chopped nuts for extra texture.
