Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • cup white sugar

  • 2 ½ cups heavy cream

  • 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon, divided

  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon extract, divided

  • 1 large apple - peeled, cored, and diced

  • ½ cup water, or as needed

  • ½ teaspoon light brown sugar

  • ½ teaspoon white sugar

  • ¼ cup crushed pecans

Directions

  1. Mix milk and 2/3 cup sugar together with an electric blender, about 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon extract with a spoon. Chill in a refrigerator for 2 hours.

  2. Meanwhile, place apples into a pot and add water to cover; heat over medium heat. Add remaining cinnamon extract, remaining ground cinnamon, light brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon white sugar, in that order, while stirring the mixture in between each addition. Cook on medium heat until apple pieces are soft to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat and pour apple mixture into a colander to drain. Transfer to a container and add pecans; allow to cool, 15 to 20 minutes. Place into a refrigerator and wait until ice cream mixture has setup for those 2 hours.

  3. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, at least 18 minutes.

  4. Take the top off and add your apple/pecan mixture and allow machine to mix that for you for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. At this point it should be soft-serve consistency; if hard-serve is desired place cinnamon ice cream with apple-pecan swirl into a freezer to setup for 1 additional hour.

Cook's Note:

This recipe is for ice cream makers that require the canister being put into the freezer 24 to 26 hours ahead of time.
