Equipment

Ingredients

Apples

  • 2 Granny Smith apples peeled and diced small
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 5 cinnamon graham crackers broken up into pieces

Instructions

  • In a medium skillet, combine the apples, sugar, butter, and cinnamon over medium-low heat. Cook and stir for about 10 minutes until the apples have softened and released their juices. Cool completely, then chill thoroughly in the fridge.

  • Add the ice cream base mixture to the frozen bowl of an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes until the ice cream is thick and frozen to about the consistency of soft serve.
  • Add the apples and graham cracker pieces and churn for a few more minutes (or turn off the machine and stir them in be hand), until evenly incorporated.

  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer for 4-6 hours until completely firm. Let sit out for 10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.

Notes

  • Caramel Apple Ice Cream: Try omitting the graham cracker pieces and instead layering half of the ice cream into the container, then drizzling with a generous amount of your favorite caramel sauce. Add the remaining ice cream and more caramel sauce, then swirl and freeze.
