I don’t know why I woke up craving ice cream recently – I actually went out and purchased some Ben & Jerry’s and promptly ate a pint of Karamel Sutra in two evenings. Then I got up the next morning and decided to make this flavor – it combines chopped apples with my cinnamon ice cream to create an apple pie flavor. If you have leftover apple pie from Thanksgiving, you can just chop that up small and stir it into softened vanilla ice cream and you’ll have the same thing with the addition of some chunks of pie crust which I think would be fabulous. I promise this will be the last ice cream post until warmer weather returns!
