How to Make Apple Ice Cream with Crumble Topping

Creating this apple ice cream may not be a lightning-fast process, but I assure you, it’s easy, and the end result is so worth it! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to whip up each component of the recipe:

Baked Apple Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients and cook over medium heat in a large saucepan. Cook until the apples are softened and the sauce thickens slightly (this should take around 10 minutes).
2. Allow the mixture to cool and then refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.

Crumble Instructions:

1. Mix all the ingredients, except butter, in a large bowl. Then, using a pastry cutter, cut in the butter.
2. Spread the mixture onto a pan and bake until golden brown.
3. After baking, use a metal spatula to stir the crumble for even cooling. Allow it to cool completely before use.

Ice Cream Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients, except vanilla extract, in a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Ensure it doesn’t come to a boil.
2. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract, and let it cool. Refrigerate for a few hours or ideally, overnight.
3. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker bowl and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. During the last few minutes of churning, add the apple mixture and a cup of the crumble mixture to the machine.
5. Transfer the churned mixture into a freezer-safe container and let it freeze for a few hours or until firm.
6. When serving, scoop out the ice cream into bowls and sprinkle some reserved crumble on top. If you’re feeling fancy, why not add a dollop of fresh homemade whipped cream?

Recipe Tips for a Delicious Apple Ice Cream

To make sure your homemade ice cream turns out perfect, here’s a quick timeline for preparation:

• Day 1: Cook the apples and prepare the ice cream mixture. Refrigerate both overnight. Also, remember to place your ice cream maker’s bowl in the freezer overnight.
• Day 2: Bake the crumble topping and allow it to cool. Churn the chilled ingredients to make the ice cream. Freeze for a few hours or overnight before serving.

Remember, you’ll have a bit more crumble topping than you need. But don’t worry, there are plenty of fun ways to use it, like topping your morning Greek yogurt, substituting granola in your parfaits, or adding extra crunch to your Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Bars.

Some recipes might suggest using store-bought apple pie filling, caramel sauce, or graham crackers. However, I firmly believe that using homemade, high-quality ingredients delivers superior flavor and texture, keeping your dessert naturally delicious and wholesome!
