Sounds like you want something simple, warm, and sweet right now 🍎✨
Here’s a no-stress version—perfect for tonight.
Baked Apple with a Little Ice Cream (Cozy Edition)
What you need
-
1 apple (any kind you like)
-
A small knob of butter
-
A sprinkle of cinnamon
-
A tiny drizzle of honey or sugar (optional)
-
Vanilla ice cream (just a little—this is about balance)
How to do it
-
Heat oven to 180°C / 350°F
(No oven? I’ll give you a pan or microwave version.) -
Prep the apple
Core it (or slice it in halves), place in a small baking dish.
Add butter on top, sprinkle cinnamon, drizzle sweetness if using. -
Bake
25–35 minutes, until soft and slightly caramelized.
Spoon the juices over once if you remember—if not, it’s fine. -
Serve
Hot apple + one small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Let it melt just a bit. That’s the magic.
Optional cozy upgrades (pick one)
-
A pinch of nutmeg
-
Crushed walnuts or almonds
-
A splash of milk or cream in the baking dish
-
A crumble of biscuit or oats on top
This is dessert that doesn’t shout—it whispers comfort.
If you want:
-
A 5-minute microwave version
-
A no-sugar option

Or a fancy café twist
