A recipe for creamy no-churn apple pie ice cream. An easy and delicious recipe. Made without an Ice cream maker, but you can’t tell it. This is such an easy recipe. A nice, scoop-able, and sweet ice cream in summer times. This way you can also eat apple pie in the summer when the weather is warm. I am a fan ;-)
Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic
Instructions
Caramelized apples
Peel the apples and remove the core.
2 Granny Smith
Cut the apples into small pieces, about ½ x ½ inch (1 x 1 cm).
Mix the cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl, then mix in the apple pieces.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Melt the butter in the frying pan and add the apples. Reduce the heat to low and fry the apples on both sides for about 3 minutes until they're caramelized.
1 tablespoon butter
Allow cooling to room temperature.
No-Churn Apple Pie Ice Cream
Pour the cream with the vanilla extract and the confectioner's sugar into a bowl and mix with the mixer until yogurt thickness.
1 cup cream, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 4 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
Add the mascarpone to the mixture and mix it gently on low speed until incorporated.
1 cup mascarpone
Add half of the apples and the cinnamon to the whipped cream mixture.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Crumble half of the shortbread cookies above the bowl.
3 oz shortbread
Carefully scoop the apples, cinnamon, and shortbread through the creamy mascarpone mixture.
Pour this into a freezer box.
Crumble the rest of the shortbread above the ice cream.
Spread the rest of the caramelized apples on top.
Place in the freezer and let it stand for at least 6 hours to get creamy ice cream.
NOTES
1. Granny Smith - this sour apple still has a bite after baking. You could also opt for a Jonagold apple. Don't use a stewed apple because it will fall apart, and you'll get apple butter instead of caramelized apples.2. Vanilla Extract - If you can get it, use natural vanilla extract, which has a slightly deeper flavor than artificial vanilla extract. With this recipe, you can make your vanilla extract (and indeed, if you bake a lot, it is highly recommended because you can use this for a reasonable amount of time)3. Shortbread - You can substitute them with butter cookies or Scottish biscuits.4. Cream - Make sure you use whipping cream. Some creams are only pourable, and you don't want to use these.5. Serving -You can probably scoop it right away when you serve within 24 hours after freezing. Otherwise, it will be 5 minutes before you can scoop it nicely.6. Ice cream machine - If you want to use an ice cream maker, that's also possible. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to prepare it. When the ice cream is frozen, store it in a container in the freezer.7. Storage
Freezer - You can store apple pie ice cream for up to 1 month. If you see ice crystals on top, you should discard the ice cream.
8. Nutritional value - I have assumed you can fill four coupes with this. The nutritional values are then per coupe. So, for example, if you eat just a scoop of ice cream, the nutritional values will be lowered. The garnish is not included.
