All about this bourbon apples foster
Apples foster is like the seasonal cousin of bananas foster. Instead of using rum and walnuts like in a traditional bananas foster, I used bourbon and pecans to create a warm Fall dessert. This dessert isn’t complete unless you top it with vanilla ice cream. For a nutrient-dense and homemade option, I highly recommend trying my vanilla ice cream recipe. You won’t want to go back to store-bought after trying this.
If you’re looking for a way to use up those Fall apples with a dessert that comes together in just 15 minutes – both flourless and gluten free – you’ll love this bourbon apples foster.

Ingredients
2 small/medium apples
2 tbsp chopped pecans
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp bourbon
1/4 cup cane sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
A sprinkle of salt
Vanilla ice cream for serving
Directions
- Prepare the apples. Peel and dice them into 1/2 inch pieces. Set them aside.
- In a deep skillet on medium heat, melt the butter. If the butter browns instantly, the pan is too hot. Stir in the bourbon, cane sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Bring to a low boil.
- Once boiling, add the diced apples and chopped pecans. Stir for 2-3 minutes and serve over vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
