Ice cream is not only for summer, it can be perfect for fall too! This Apple Pie Ice Cream has everything you want for the season. Tender apples, warm spices, buttery pie crust & creamy ice cream. Show Ice cream is my favorite dessert. My go-to is always chocolate, but there is exception. When we go to Handel’s Ice Cream, banana cream pie is the only flavor that I get. Not only it was creamy and tasted like real banana, the flaky pie crust was truly amazing. This apple pie ice cream was inspired by that. Although there are a few components for this ice cream, it’s worth the effort. First, there is ice cream. It’s a basic vanilla ice cream base. Easy to make, but just need time to cool down in the fridge. Second is the apples. To give more flavors, I used 3 different type of apples, so we got little sweetness and tartness at the same time. You can just use 2 types. Cut them into little cubes and sauté with butter, sugar, cinnamon and all spice. Sweet & warm. When I was testing the recipe, I actually tried to make half of the apples into puree. However, the ice cream lost its creaminess and became a bit icy due to the puree. So I abandoned that idea and just use cubes. I am happy with the result. Last is the pie crust bites. It’s basically a pie crust recipe. Instead of making a pie, roll the dough into long and thin stripes and cut into little bite size. They should just be slightly bigger than Captain Crunch cereal. Roll them in sugar and bake until golden brown. They are buttery and addictive. I can stand there and eat all the bites as snack. Absolutely shouldn’t do that, but they’re so good! When you have everything ready, churn the ice cream in a machine until thick and creamy. Add about 2/3 of the apple cubes and churn again until well blended. Add more apples if desired. Then add 2/3 of the pie crust bites and mix well with a wooden spoon. That’s it! Now, be patient. Freeze for at least 4 more hours, but best overnight. This ice cream is to die for! Creamy with lots of tender apples and spices. The crust was flaky, buttery and a hint of salt. Great texture and flavors. Can’t be more perfect for fall!
