Talk about a quick and easy dessert, Apple Pie Ice Cream is the ultimate easy dessert. Years ago I had an ice cream cone that was called Apple Pie Ice Cream. It was delicious with pieces of pie crust and apples. Since I did not feel like baking a pie crust, I used cinnamon topped graham crackers. I mixed that into a 1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream along with sautéed apples. This ice cream is delicious and so much easier that baking a pie.
Apple Pie Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon vanilla bean ice cream
- 4 cinnamon graham crackers (each cracker = 4 rectangles)
- 2 apples, diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar (you can adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your apples)
- 2 -3 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
-
In a large skillet, melt the butter and add the apples, sugar and cinnamon. Cook 8-10 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently until the apples are cooked and have softened a bit. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Remove ice cream from package and place in a large bowl. Let sit until soft, stir a few times, you do not want the ice cream to become liquid, just soft serve.
Place the crackers in a zip top bag and crush lightly – you still want sizeable pieces.
When the ice cream is soft and the apples have cooled, fold into the ice cream the apples and the crackers. Scoop mixture into freezer container and freeze until firm.
Delicious to serve alone or with a drizzle of caramel sauce.
