Ninja Creami Apple Cinnamon Ice Cream

Directions

• Cook the Apples: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
• Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the cooled apple mixture, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.
• Chill: Pour the mixture into a storage container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill. This step is important to help the flavors meld together.
• Freeze: After chilling, pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container, secure the lid, and place it in the freezer for 24 hours.
• Creamify: After the freezing time, remove the container from the freezer, and process it in your Ninja Creami using the “Ice Cream” setting. If the texture isn’t creamy enough, you can re-spin it once.
• Mix-Ins (Optional): For an extra burst of flavor, add some chopped caramelized pecans or a swirl of caramel sauce during the “Mix-Ins” cycle of your Ninja Creami.
• Serve: Scoop your Apple Cinnamon Ice Cream into bowls or cones and enjoy! This ice cream pairs wonderfully with a warm slice of apple pie or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
• Store: If you have leftovers, cover the pint container with the lid and store it in the freezer. Before serving again, you might need to run it through the Ninja Creami on the “Ice Cream” setting to restore its creamy texture.
