Caramelized Apple and Butter Pecan Ice Cream Sundaes

Don’t be fooled by a sundae’s simplicity. It is a magnificent dessert. A sundae may be only ice cream covered with sundry sauces and garnishes, but the variations are endless. In this refined interpretation of the traditional favorite. I coat apple pieces with sugar, bake them until they caramelize, and layer them with butter pecan ice cream and an apple sauce.
