Toffee-Apple Stuff

Toffee-Apple Stuff

3 sweet apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp
1/2 cup toffee/chocolate bits (i.e. Heath)
1/2 pint whipping cream
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 tsp maple extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon

 This works best when you start with a chilled (ten minutes in the freezer) mixing bowl and whisk (or whisk attachment).

In a stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk the whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Slowly add in the extract, sugar and cinnamon. Continue whisking until the cream reaches a stiffer consistency and peaks begin to form. (Lift your whisk up out of the cream. If peaks stand up, you're set!)

Dice the apples and fold them into the cream along with the toffee bits. Keep refrigerated and serve right away or within 24 hours. 

This seems simple, but it's so, so good!
