# Instructions:
01 -
Slice the top inch off each apple. Cut small triangles around the edges to create eight-point stars as shown in the video. Follow the same pattern to remove tiny triangles from the bottom of each star slice. Heat 2 1/2 cups sugar slowly in a pan, adding just half a cup at a time until you get caramel. When it turns amber, pour in 1 cup of hot water. Set aside to cool down, then dip all 6 apple stars into the caramel mixture.

Take the leftover apple bottoms and cut out their cores. Slice them super thin into half-moon shapes. Layer these slices in your square baking dish until it's full. Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk and vanilla in a bowl. Add the flour, salt and baking powder and stir until everything's mixed up. Pour this mix over your apple slices and bake for 45 minutes at 180°C (350°F).

Take the cake out and flip it onto a plate. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, six spots total. Put a caramel apple star on each ice cream scoop. Drizzle leftover caramel all over. Serve it right away while it's still warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Those fancy apple stars really make the dessert look amazing on top of the ice cream.

Go for harder apples that won't turn mushy when you bake them - Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great.
