Bananas Foster

Ingredients

• 3 firm ripe bananas, peeled
• 3/4 cup apple juice
• 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons rum
• 1/8 teaspoon maple flavoring
• 1/8 teaspoon butter flavoring
• 3 cups vanilla no-sugar-added, fat-free ice cream

Preparation

1. Cut bananas in half lengthwise; cut each half crosswise to make 12 pieces. Combine apple juice and apple pie spice in a large skillet. Add banana pieces to juice mixture; cook over medium heat just until banana is heated, basting often with juice mixture.
2. Combine cornstarch, rum, and flavorings, stirring until smooth; add to banana mixture. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
3. To serve, spoon 1/2 cup ice cream into each of 6 dishes. Spoon banana mixture evenly over ice cream, and serve immediately.
4. Tip: If you don't want to use rum, add an extra 2 tablespoons of apple juice.
