This is a really quick version of apple pie a la mode with a twist. The twist is that pound cake, pecan ice cream and caramel sauce is used. The dessert is absolutely delicious and for my family, a comfort food. Read more Breathing in the sweet aroma of caramelizing apples is wonderful too! =D See less
