pomme tatin au sirop d'érable

how do you make an otherwise plain apple turnover into something sinfully delicious? in my household, vanilla ice cream is not a welcome commodity. i mean, if one has to indulge why not go all the way for rocky road or heavenly hash or butter pecan or rum&raisin flavours? but since i don't have any of those right now in my freezer, i'm settling for chocolate caramel cup - a scoop, or two (the scoop is quite small :-)) and drizzle it with maple syrup. too sweet, but i'm not the one who's eating this. i'm going to slice me a ripened mango.

note: best viewed large. but you've been warned: it looks so real and so sumptuous, you'd be craving sweets for days.
why , why, why, do you do this to me. yummmmmm

Fun. I worked at Country Kitchen in high school and loved warm apple pic with a scoop of chocolate ice cream!
April 24th, 2012

@sunnygreenwood - thank you, anne. i was told it was very good, too!

April 24th, 2012  
Hey! I thought you were going to do some food coloring shots and stay away from the dessert shop?! ;)
April 24th, 2012  
@slang - i...er...uhm...i didn't go there, i swear! this just turned up on my table. i didn't even eat this. and it's too late to be setting up shots! hahahaha! thank you, sean.
April 24th, 2012  
BUT the question is: Does it "smell" good?!! Tempting for sure. :)
April 24th, 2012  
That looks sooooooooo good
April 24th, 2012  
YUM YUM YUM. I totally agree. No vanilla ice-cream in my fridge either so I always put rum raisin in my coffee. With Bailey's on top. 8D
April 24th, 2012  
Yummy! That looks very tasty! :)
April 24th, 2012  
@karenann - oh yeah! hahahaha! i must say, though, karenann, that in asia, there is a fruit, so sweet and delicious, but you'd know it from a mile away when someone opened one. it stinks like hell! it's called durian. that was delicious and smelly. i, of course, eat the treated and candied ones, not the raw one. can't stand the smell. thank you, karenann.

@bkbinthecity - butter pecan ice cream would have been the best partner for this, if i was serving it to guests. thank you, brian.

@myautofocuslife - bailey's! that's brilliant! you rock, girlfriend! :-D thank you, livia. (got to check if we have bailey's! but we do! we do!!)

@alia_801 - tasty, delicious, nutritious (to some) and sweet! thank you, alia.
April 24th, 2012  
I want it.
April 24th, 2012  
@danig - yes, okay, but this was last night. you're too late. it's been eaten, digested and most probably processed! and you've got to be here. so come here, already! thank you, DG.

Looks very sweet- but in our house vanilla is the choice of the king and the queen likes chocolate chip mint. (o: Great shot!!
April 24th, 2012  
Yum!
April 24th, 2012  
wonderful shot. i like vanilla on apple pie. fudge ripple is my choice most times, but since i am not supposed to have it, seem to love most all of it. isn't that always the way?
April 24th, 2012  
Sinfully captured. Probably should not have viewed this during work at 3am when nothing is open. Lol Sounds very tastey.
April 25th, 2012  
...and processed! Lol thanks for the info!
April 25th, 2012
