Apple Pie Ice Cream

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.

Notes

Notes on Sweeteners: 

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 

 

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

 

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
