For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter before adding the apples. If you don't have apple pie spice, a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of allspice works well. Make sure your ice cream maker bowl is fully frozen before churning to ensure proper freezing. For easier scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
Prepare the Apple Compote: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (approximately 10 minutes). Stir in apple cider and apple pie spice. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
02
Step
10 mins
Chill the Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and half-and-half until well combined. Stir in the apple compote. Place the bowl inside a larger bowl filled with ice and very cold water (an ice bath). Stir the mixture until thoroughly chilled (about 5-10 minutes). This ensures a smoother ice cream texture.
03
Step
25 mins
Churn the Ice Cream: Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once churned, spread the ice cream into an 8- or 9-inch square pan.
04
Step
5 mins
Caramel Swirl: Drizzle caramel topping over the entire surface of the ice cream, allowing it to seep into the mixture. Gently pack the ice cream back into the pan.
