Bourbon Flamed Apples

Submitted by Aunt Cookie

"Flambe! It's always fun to set food on fire intentionally (setting food on fire accidentally is entirely another matter, as I know first-hand). I like these over ice cream."

If I could give this dish more stars I would. Needless to say when I told my boys that we would be lighting up dessert they were excited! They gasped when I set the bourbon on fire then gobbled up the apples. I served this over vanilla ice cream. The result was outstanding. I will used this recipe again soon.
