    Bourbon Apple Crisp Ice Cream

    By Alanna Taylor-Tobin on Oct 27, 2013 (updated Feb 8, 2022) / 38 Comments Jump to Recipe

    close up of Bourbon Apple Crisp Ice Cream

    When I began working on this ice cream recipe a week ago, I was in a bit of a snit. The weather was too nice. It was too warm to turn on the oven, too warm to make pumpkin pie or eat butternut squash soup. When nice weather gets in the way of my longing to curl up under a blanket with a good book and a mug of hot chocolate, I call this the Indian Summer Blues (after which I even named a cocktail).

    apples

    So instead, I grumped around in shorts and made ice cream.

    (Yes, I really am that much of a spoiled brat.)

    Fortunately, Laura of Fork Knife Swoon came to my rescue with an apple cinnamon ice cream that I couldn't stop obsessing over. There may be no cure for the summertime blues, but cool ice cream with warming flavors will remedy even the nastiest case of this San Franciscan's Indian Summer Blues. (Though a frosty beverage doesn't hurt, either.)

    Since I also seem to be obsessed with crisps and crumbles, I decided to combine the two into one fabulous (or at least, I hoped it would be fabulous) frozen dessert. (I also credit Erin's blackberry crisp ice cream for this brainwave.)

    And I decided to throw in some bourbon because, really, why not?

    I tinkered with the recipe for a bit. Since I'd need to have the oven on to bake the crumble, I ignored Jay's protests regarding the heat and roasted the apples as well. I tried different ratios of spice until I came up with one that tasted like my ideal apple pie, and I added a splash of bourbon. Mashing the apples as they roast helps rid them of excess moisture, concentrating their flavor into a chunky paste and thwarting ice crystals in the finished product.

    bowl of crumbs

    Apples are naturally high in pectin, which thickens and stabilizes the ice cream without the need for egg yolks or starches. I also tried a custard-based version, but the extra fat of the egg yolks just seemed to muddy the flavors. I love when the easier road is the better-tasting one, as was the case here.

    crumble

    For the base, I steep cream and half and half with vanilla bean and cinnamon sticks. This gets pureed with the apples until silky smooth, and finished with heavy cream and another dose of bourbon. The bourbon does double duty here, adding acidity to keep the ice cream tasting bright, and lowering the freezing point, keeping the ice cream pliant straight from the freezer.

    Finally, I layer the churned ice cream with a baked crumble flecked with oats, pecans, cinnamon, and brown sugar. These crumbly bits taste a little like old-fashioned granola, and they makejust as much of a satisfying, crunchy snack. Freezing the crumble before layering it into the ice cream helps it stay crisp for a few days within the ice cream, but I reserve half of it for sprinkling over the top of individual scoops, too.

    This ice cream tastes like what would happen if you churned together an apple crisp and vanilla ice cream into a single frozen dessert. The flavors – spice, booze, apples, cream – ricochet around your palate. The ice cream itself is melt-in-your-mouth smooth, with nubby bits of crumble to sink your teeth into.

    Now, it's foggy and chilly outside. I'm in a sweater, scarf, and hat. I know it's really cold when the cat sits on me – I pretend it's because he loves me, but I know deep down he's just using me for my body heat.

    Luckily, it's never too cold for ice cream in my book, especially one  bursting with warm flavors, crunchy crumbles, and a nip.

    Bourbon Apple Crisp Ice Cream

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    A delicious ice cream that tastes just like fall!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 1 hour hour
    Cook Time: 1 hour hour
    6 hours hours
    Total: 8 hours hours
    Servings: 8 to 10 servings (makes 5-6 cups of ice cream).

    Ingredients

    For the roasted apples:

    • 1 pound apples (2 large or 3 medium)
    • 2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
    • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (3 1/2 ounces)
    • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    • 1/8 teaspoon cloves
    • 1/8 teaspoon allspice

    For the crumble:

    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (2 1/2 ounces)
    • 1/3 cup quick (baby)oats (1 1/4 ounces)
    • 1/3 cup light brown sugar (3 1/2 ounces)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced and slightly softened (2 ounces)
    • 1/3 cup pecans, finely chopped (1 1/4 ounces)

    For the ice cream:

    • 2 cups half and half (16 ounces)
    • 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped
    • 2 cinnamon sticks
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 cup heavy cream (8 ounces)
    • 4 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    Roast the apples:

    • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400ºF.
    • Peel the apples, cut their flesh off the core, and chop them into large chunks. Place them in a smallish baking dish, and toss with the 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and the nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Roast the apples until very tender and broken down into a thick, chunky sauce, 45-60 minutes, stirring and mashing them a few times throughout the baking time. (A potato masher works well here.)

    Make the crumble:

    • Meanwhile, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the butter pieces and work with your fingertips until the mixture forms large clumps. Work in the pecans until evenly distributed. The mixture should resemble gravel.
    • Dump the crumble mixture onto a small, rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and spread it evenly. When the apples are done baking, reduce the oven temperature to 350ºBake the crumble until golden all over and crisp throughout, 15-20 minutes, giving it a gentle stir halfway through the baking time to help it cook evenly.
    • Let the crumble cool completely. Remove 1 cup of crumble and place it in the freezer; this will get layered into the ice cream. Leave the rest at room temperature in an airtight container for serving over scoops of ice cream.

    Make the ice cream base:

    • Meanwhile, combine the half and half, vanilla pod and seeds, cinnamon sticks, and sugar in a small saucepan. Warm over a medium flame, swirling occasionally, until the mixture is steaming and hot, but not simmering. Remove from the heat, cover, and steep for 30-60 minutes.
    • Place the roasted apple goop in a blender or food processor. Strain half of the half and half mixture into the blender, and puree smooth, adding more half and half little by little until the mixture is quite smooth and all of the half and half has been added. Blend in the heavy cream, then the bourbon.
    • Pour the ice cream base into a container and chill until very cold, at least 4 hours. (If you're in a hurry, pour it into a metal bowl and chill over an ice bath.)
    • Place a large loaf pan (or other ice cream vessel of your choicin the freezer to chill.
    • Spin the ice cream in an ice cream maker until it is the texture of soft-serve. Working quickly, spread 1/3 of the ice cream in the bottom of the frozen pan, and sprinkle 1/3 of the frozen crumble over the top. Repeat until you've used up all the ice cream and frozen crumble. Freeze the ice cream until firm enough to scoop, at least 2 hours.
    • To store the ice cream, press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice cream (to thwart ice crystaland wrap it tightly (to keep out odors). The crumble will stay firm for a day or two. Serve scoops with extra crumble sprinkled over the top.

    Notes

    Inspired by this Apple Cinnamon Ice Cream from Fork Knife Swoon and the blueberry crumble topping from The Farm via Leite's Culinaria.
    I used Basil Hayden bourbon and Fuji apples here, but I should think that any decent bourbon and flavorful apple combo will do the trick.
    I love my ice cream maker attachment for the Kitchen Aid stand mixer (purchasable here), which gets frozen for 24 hours, then churns ice cream using the motor on the mixer. If you lack an ice cream maker, don't fret – see David Lebovitz' post on making ice cream the old school way.

      Good lordy. I was already wishing our Indian summer was still in full effect (which this year was actually the most perfect and beautiful stretch of weather ever—I should really just be grateful for how long it lasted). But now it's in the 40s, I've already had to double-layer tights and drag out my winter coats, and still all I want to do is eat this ice cream! It's got a totally perfect fall vibe going on with the apples and spices (and bourbon). And all that crumble.....yesyesyes.

      My cats have definitely been in snuggle mode as well. I also pretend it comes from a place of love. Mostly because I'm cold too. ;)

      Definitely never too cold for ice cream - ever! Like your cat, my dog sits on my for warmth during the cooler months. However, he is a 70 pound boxer so I'm definitely able to snatch as much warmth from him as he is from me (well..until my legs go numb from his weight).

        Hi Christina! Oops! I've changed it to bourbon, as listed in the ingredients. I used apple cider in the roasted apples the first two times I made it, which is when I typed up the recipe, but I used bourbon the third, and this was my favorite. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for catching the discrepancy!

      The booze--it's brilliant! I made a really similar apple crisp ice cream recipe a few weekends ago, but I used coconut milk and no booze, and in its fully-frozen form it did need a bit of thaw time before scooping. I'm totally stealing the booze idea, what a genius way to keep the consistency softer!

      This looks awesome and I'm making it for Christmas dinner!

      I have a couple of questions. Most ice cream recipes call for adding crunchy bits in the last five minutes of spinning, but you call for creating a layered "cake" with the frozen crumble. Is this aesthetic only, or is there another reason?

      And when you say, "The crumble will stay firm for a day or two," do you mean the crumble that's layered into the ice cream, or the crumble that's reserved for sprinkling on top?

        December 27, 2016 at 5:27 pm

        Hi Norm - sorry for the delay, I hope the ice cream turned out great! The crumble both on top and layered in stays crisp for a day or two. I find the layering process easier and cleaner, but you can add the crumble to the churning ice cream if you prefer. :)

    This gluten-free gingerbread cake has an addictive This gluten-free gingerbread cake has an addictively moist and springy crumb thanks to a magical blend of @bobsredmill gluten-free flours: almond flour, sweet rice flour, oat flour, and tapioca flour. 

It’s so easy to make with one bowl and a whisk, and you can have it in and out of the oven in 45 minutes.

Perfectly spiced with ginger, cinnamon, and allspice, this cake gets rich flavor from a touch of molasses for the quintessential gingerbread vibe. 

Top it with swirls of whipped mascarpone for a dreamy finish.

    This dreamy gluten-free pumpkin tart looks like it This dreamy gluten-free pumpkin tart looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but it's secretly easier to make than pie. 

The GF almond flour crust is so simple to make. Just whizz the flours and cold butter together in a food processor until crumbly, press the crumbs into a tart pan, and parbake. No chilling or rolling required. 

Next, whisk together the filling ingredients, pour the custard into the crust, and bake. 

Top it with whipped crème fraîche, a drizzle of maple syrup, and some toasted chopped nuts for a pretty finish.

They start with an almond flour shortbread crust. Next comes a filling made in the blender that's set with a secret ingredient. Top with billows of whipped coconut cream (or thick coconut yogurt such as @culinayogurt), toasted pecans, and a grating of nutmeg. So cozy!

    Sharing my top 5 tips for great gluten-free pumpki Sharing my top 5 tips for great gluten-free pumpkin pie: 🥧

1. Keep the butter cold and in large pieces for a flaky crust. I prefer @vermontcreamery  cultured butter for its high fat content and clean, rich flavor.
2. Use rich and tangy Vermont Creamery crème fraiche in the filling instead of evaporated milk
3. Parbake the crust and brush it with egg white to keep it crisp
4. Bake the pie until just set so the filling stays smooth and creamy
5. Top it with whipped crème fraîche

Bojon appétit!

GF oatmeal cookies eaten: too many to count 😸

Last week I shared a recipe for gluten-free oatmeal cookies made with almond flour, and today I'm sharing a more classic gluten-free oatmeal cookie recipe made with oat and sweet rice flours. 

These cookies taste like a classic (wheaty) oatmeal cookie, with sweet rice and tapioca flours adding hefty chew and oat flour adding floof and nutty notes. 

Toasting the oats first is the secret to building layers of flavor in the dough.

Stir in some melty chocolate chunks (shown here) or flavor them with cinnamon, nutmeg, and plump raisins for a cozy treat - you do you!
