Apple Pie Ice Cream Recipe

Although we're saying goodbye to summer, a yummy scoop of ice cream is an all year round treat! This lightly spiced apple pie ice cream has all the flavours of autumn and you don't need any fancy equipment to make it!

This ice cream tastes exactly how I imagine Autumn to taste like! It has a lightly cinnamon spiced cream with swirls of apple sauce and crunchy apple pie pieces and the best part is just how easy it is to make!

You need just five ingredients and a little mixing, then before you know it, you have a tub of delicious homemade apple pie ice cream waiting for you in your freezer! It’s scoopable in just four hours and tastes amazing by itself in a bowl, in an ice cream cone or inside ice cream cookie sandwiches!

This recipe works perfectly with shop brought apple sauce and apple pies or you can find my easy homemade recipes below!

This recipe makes one batch of ice cream which perfectly fills a 2lb loaf tin. Alternatively, you could freeze it in ice cream moulds on sticks instead, to make Magnum style ice creams. It is best stored in the freezer and eaten within around one month.

This ice cream is dairy free, egg free, nut free, easily gluten free and of course completely plant based!

Method

1. Make your ice cream base. In a large mixing bowl, add the cream, condensed milk and cinnamon and whip together using an electric hand mixer until thick and fluffy

2. Add in the chopped apple pie pieces and gently fold them into the ice cream mixture

3. Layer up your ice cream in the 2lb loaf tin or similar sized container

4. Pour around 1/2 of the ice cream mixture into the tin, then blob over 1-2 tbs of apple sauce. Use a thin knife or spoon handle to swirl the apple sauce into the mixture

5. Repeat layering the second 1/2 of ice cream mixture and then swirl in another 1-2 tbs of apple sauce

6. Crumble the remaining mini apple pie over the top of the ice cream and sprinkle with a pinch of extra cinnamon if you'd like

7. Place the tin of ice cream in the freezer for at least four hours until set firm enough to scoop

8. Now your ice cream is ready to eat!
