This homemade apple pie ice cream is creamy, sweet, and filled with apple cinnamon, caramel apple flavor, and bits of fresh apples. It’s a no-churn ice cream that’s simple to make and one of the best fall apple desserts.
Add the sliced apples with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, the cornstarch, and cinnamon to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes. Then, set aside and let cool completely, or at least 15 minutes.
Once the apples are cooled, combine the heavy cream and ½ cup of brown sugar then beat with your electric mixer on high until thick peaks form, about 5 minutes.
Add the milk and vanilla bean paste to the heavy cream mixture and beat again until thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Fold in the apples and then pour the mixture into your ice cream pan.
Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top of the ice cream mixture and then use a knife to swirl it into the ice cream mixture.
Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers on top and drizzle the remaining caramel over the graham cracker crumbs.
Place in your freezer for at least 6 hours.
Once completely frozen, let the ice cream thaw for about 20 minutes before topping with additional caramel sauce and serving.
