Caramel Apple Pastry Bake with Vanilla and Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Ingredients

- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 scoops salted caramel ice cream
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1/4 cup crème fraîche

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Apples:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the apple slices and dark brown sugar. Toss until the apples are evenly coated with sugar.

3. Arrange the Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to fit a 9x13-inch baking dish. Carefully transfer the pastry to the dish, pressing it into the corners and up the sides.

4. Layer Ingredients:
- Spread the apple and sugar mixture evenly over the pastry.

5. Add Butter:
- Drizzle the melted butter over the apple layer. This will help caramelize the sugar as it bakes.

6. Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.

7. Cool and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares.

8. Plate and Garnish:
- Serve each square with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and another of salted caramel ice cream.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream and a small spoonful of crème fraîche on the side for a touch of tangy richness.
