Part three of the Breakstone’s Holiday Showdown had us creating a delicious holiday dessert recipe featuring Breakstone’s sour cream.
I love dessert and I especially love over indulging during the holidays, but sometimes it just feels like there is too much food all the time. I kept this in mind when I created my holiday dessert recipe and decided to go with something that isn’t overly heavy and won’t weigh you down at the end of the holiday meal.
Baked Apple Brulee is a dessert with tender, sweet apples and a caramelized sugar and Breakstone’s sour cream sauce. It isn’t your traditional holiday dessert, but I think that this year can be all about starting new traditions, don’t you think?

Voted! These look yummy! Love those little ramekins! So cute!
Um, YUM! I make some simple baked microwave apples to serve with pork chops. Now I have another apple recipe to add to my family recipe book for dessert.
Wow this looks so delicious, thanks Kristen for posting the recipe.
