Super Stuffed Baked Apples a la Mode

Another yummy baked apple recipe from Rachel Ray at foodnetwork.  Check out the link for great picture of this.  The recipe asked for whipped cream ( not something I always have on hand ).  Luckily anything with ice cream is always yummy in our house.  I used the only ice cream available a vanilla, chocolate and strawberry trio.  But if you want to try this recipe, don't forget a caramel ice cream, reviewers mentioned how the flavor of the stuffed apple is enhanced by the caramel.
