salted candy apple ice cream
PHOTOS
INGREDIENTS
2 1/4 cups cream
1 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 granny smith or other tart 'pie' apples
1 tbsp cinnamon powder, 1/2 tsp clove powder, 2 tsp vanilla extract & 1 1/2 tsp+ sea salt
INGREDIENT NOTES
granular or flakey sea salts both work. experiment and, remember, have fun.
BASE
1. caramel
melt 1 cup of sugar on medium heat in a heavy skillet, 10-12 inches, stirring constantly.
use a fork -- it will get coated in hardened sugar but soaking will remove this.
sugar will become a clear, viscous liquid. agitate constantly at this point.
it will pass rapidly to amber. CAUTION -- the amber burns fast to a bitter dark brown.
add 1 1/4 cups heavy cream while still amber. CAUTION -- may splatter. add slowly, rocking pan.
swirl or stir over heat until it becomes a rich caramel concoction.
remove from heat, add 1 tsp+ (to taste) sea salt and 1 tsp vanilla extract and stir well as it cools.
2. ice cream base
use 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup whole milk, as well as 3 eggs and 1/4 cup of sugar to make a custard.
(how to make a custard ice cream base: written and youtube -- slightly different methods but both work).
combine the custard and the caramel in the caramel skillet.
3. sautéed apples
use a small skillet. core unpeeled apples and cut into thin (2-3 mm) slices. divide slices into thirds.
combine with 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon powder, 1/2 tsp clove powder, 1/2+ tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla extract.
cook until soft and brown with little remaining liquid.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
cool all ingredients (about 4-8 hours). apples should be cooled in the freezer.
when the ice cream base is getting firm in the maker, then add the cooled sautéed apples and stir in evenly. this ice cream finishes soft, and freezes well.
OPTION: reserve some caramel to coat the sautéed apples before adding to the maker.
