Apple Crisp Ice Cream is made with the creamiest of homemade vanilla ice creams, then completely loaded with bits of cinnamon sweet baked apples and crunchy streusel topping.
Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour into the ice cream machine and process according to the manufacturer's instructions.
While the ice cream is churning, place about ⅔ of the apple crisp on a large cutting board. Roughly chop into small pieces, making sure the apple pieces are no bigger than ½" in size. You should have about 2½ cups worth of chopped apple crisp.
When the ice cream has finished churning, transfer it to an airtight freezer container adding chunks of apple crisp over each scoop. Gently stir to make sure the pieces are well distributed without stirring too long and melting the ice cream.
Cover and freeze the ice cream for at least two hours before serving.
Notes
The pieces of apple crisp don't need to be uniform at all. Roughly chopped is perfect. However, a large piece of apple will turn icy once frozen. Making the pieces small, nothing bigger than 1/2" in size, will keep the texture nice, instead of creating icy chunks of apple in the otherwise creamy ice cream.Place the ice cream on the counter to warm for 10-15 minutes prior to scooping, if it is extra firm when you are ready to serve it.
