Spiced Apple Ice Cream Recipe – This homemade ice cream recipe is delicious with intense apple flavor from apple butter. It is the perfect accompaniment to cookies and cakes.

A Love for Homemade Ice Cream Recipes 

When you walk down the ice cream aisle at your grocery store, there are cases and cases of ice cream tubs, but not that many flavor options. Once you get past the standard chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, butter pecan, cookies and cream, and candy bar swirl varieties, what do you really have?

You certainly won’t find chocolate lavender ice cream or whiskey walnut…. Specialty ice cream flavors are something you’ll most likely have to make at home.

Learning how to make homemade ice cream is much easier than you might think. There’s quite a bit of waiting around involved, but other than that, it’s simply whisk-simmer-churn.

Easy Apple Dessert

This Spiced Apple Ice Cream is something I came up with to serve with my most recent cookie recipe, Cinnamon-Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies. I thought, what better to go along with cinnamon and oats than intense spiced apple flavor!

I adjusted my favorite vanilla ice cream recipe to include Musselman’s Apple Butter. The richness and spice from Musselman’s Apple Butter was just the punch needed to turn this Spiced Apple Ice Cream into something spectacular.

It’s creamy, loaded with spice, and that distinct apple butter flavor that reminds us of childhood. I am in love with this Spiced Apple Ice Cream, and hope you will be too!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add apple slices to this? 

Yes of course! After you church the ice cream, you can add in your apple slices. You could even make spiced apples and mix that into the churned ice cream. 

Should I invest in an ice cream maker? 

KitchenAid makes an awesome ice cream maker attachment that fits with a stand mixer. I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker and it’s been a great little machine.
