Apple Pie Ice Cream Maker

Here’s a recipe for making apple pie ice cream in an ice cream maker:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apples
• 1 cup pie crust, broken into small pieces

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and frothy. Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly, until the mixture is combined.
3. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
5. Once the mixture is cooled, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
6. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 20-30 minutes.
7. In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the diced apples and pie crust pieces.
8. Once the ice cream is finished churning, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until it reaches the desired consistency.
9. Scoop and serve the apple pie ice cream, garnished with additional pie crust pieces and apple slices if desired.

Note: If you don’t have a pie crust, you can substitute graham crackers or vanilla wafers for a similar texture and flavor. Additionally, you can adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to your taste preference.
