My favorite ice cream flavor ever was Ben & Jerry’s Apple Pie Ice Cream. Which was banished to the recipe graveyard years ago. It was a cinnamon ice cream with chunks of cooked apples and pieces of pie crust. It tasted like apple pie a la mode. I had to recreate that.
Apples vs Zucchini?
I have a recipe for (zucchini) cooked apples in my ‘Apple’ Pie Cookies. I didn’t mind using zucchini but I could taste that is was zucchini and not apples. I have sensitive taste buds. My kids had no idea.
In this recipe, I kept the number of apples down so that this would be low carb and in the S range for my Trim Healthy Mama readers. If you prefer you can substitute cooked zucchini for the apples to make this a true S and lower the carbs further.
