Alright, ladies. Here is my new favorite treat… Fried Apple Ice Cream Topping. I’m not lying when I say it takes 5 minutes to make.  You can make it just for you, or the whole fam-damily. Even better, I bet you already have all the ingredients on hand. No bundling everyone up for a trip to the store. Sweet!
