There’s nothing better than Sautéed Apples with Ice Cream! This delicious dessert can be made in 30 minutes and wow everyone.
Jump to RecipeI love almost everything made from apples. And right now, as the weather is starting to cool off and fall is approaching, apples are going to be in season and tasting better than ever. And nothing is better than sautéed apples with ice cream!
Justin doesn’t usually like things that are hot and cold at the same time like in this recipe, but he loved this dessert. The apples have just the right amount of crispness, while still being nice and soft. It’s kind of like apple pie but without all the extra calories from the crust. Then again, once you add the ice cream, I guess the calories are still there!
We had fun making our Sauteed Apples with Ice Cream. I thought it would be more difficult, but the longest part was actually getting the apples sliced up.
Sautéed Apples with Ice Cream is one of the many delicious desserts you can find in my digital cookbook: One-Pan 30 Minute Meals.
Sautéed Apples with Ice Cream Step by Step
Ingredients
- 4 apples
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
Preparation
Years ago, we got this apple slicer that helps speed the process up a lot. I use the apple slicer to cut the apples into wedges, then cut the peels off with a knife, and cut the wedges into smaller slices.
In a large skillet, melt the butter, then add the apples to the pan.
Sauté the apples for about 7-8 minutes, or until the apples are soft. Then add in the brown sugar and cinnamon, cooking for a few more minutes.
Once the apples are cooked, scoop them out into a bowl and add a scoop (or two) of ice cream on top. Then enjoy!

This looks like heaven. It’s the perfect dessert for this time of year too!
We’ve had this a few times, in all seasons, and it’s delicious no matter when you eat it!
I can practically taste this already. You’re right, it sounds exactly like apple pie without the crust. I can definitely get behind that!
It’s also much quicker to make than apple pie which means you get to eat it sooner 🙂
Yummy! This is such a fulfilling and easy dessert to make. Thanks for the recipe!
It’s such a quick one, and yummy, too!
This looks so good, I love a good crust but my waist doesn’t!
I know exactly what you mean!!
So warm and comforting. Love canning my own spiced apples every autumn after apple picking with my kids in the local mountains.
That sounds amazing! We don’t have apple trees here but when my parents had a vacation home in North Georgia we would go to the apple farms there every time we visited.
Oh Yum! I love apples so much and this is the great way to spice it up.
It’s definitely different, but it’s so yummy and easy!
I love apples to and they are plentiful this season. I love them with custard or yogurt.
Interesting, I haven’t tried them with yogurt before, only ice cream. That sounds much healthier!
looks like heaven for your mouth! i love combining hot and cold so suateed apples and ice cream works well for me!
The combination works well for me, too!
Oh my gosh, I am feeling peckish. This apple based dessert looks super scrummy xx
It’s such a delicious dessert! And so quick and easy to make, too.
This looks so delicious and the fact it’s super easy to make is perfect to serve up!
The hardest part is slicing and peeling the apples. It’s so easy and a delicious dessert.
This sounds amazing! I can imagine the taste of hot, sweet apples with cool vanilla ice cream.
It’s such a great combination!
Warm apple desserts are SERIOUSLY at the top of my dessert favorites list. There is just something about them that soothes and warms the soul. I am definitely going to be trying this one!
I couldn’t agree more! We used to go to an apple farm when my parents had a vacation home in North Georgia and the desserts there were amazing!!
My daughter has wanted a dessert exactly like this for the holidays. I might try it with a different ice cream. But the apples she loves. She’ll eat that kind of apple out of a pie, avoiding the crust altogether. I will try this out in a couple weeks.
If she avoids the crust then this is perfect! You could do any ice cream on it, we just prefer the vanilla bean since it’s a favorite in our house.
Mmm what a yummy desert! This is perfect for the holidays!
It’s great for the holidays or any time of the year that you can get fresh apples! We’ve made it many times this year in all different seasons.
Bring on all the ice cream I say!!! I would love to give it s go at doing my own ice cream! Do you have any great recipes?
I haven’t made my own ice cream before except for Butterbeer ice cream with all of my Harry Potter recipes. As yummy as that was, I don’t think it would be the right flavor for this recipe.
