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?

This is part of a sponsored post series from Breakstone’s Sour Cream and Better Homes and Gardens. I was compensated for my time and ingredients. All opinions expressed are my own.
I do like the fact that this is a lighter dessert. After the “groan-fest” we call Christmas dinner this would be very welcome.
Voted! These look excellent!
do you think this would work well with macintosh apples?
