Apple Crisp Ice Cream

I am learning to love "fall" in the desert. Sure, I miss cooler temperatures and changing leaves and an actual new season. But, one thing El Paso fall has that Germany didn't is 90 degree weather. :) That means I can still break out the ice cream machine and make a fall inspired treat for my family.

This ice cream is AMAZING! My husband said it is one of the best, if not THE BEST, ice cream I have ever made. I combined my favorite vanilla ice cream with cooked apples and a delicious crisp. Wow... just delicious!

So, if you are still having warm temps, make some ice cream. And if you are cold already, well, still make some ice cream. You won't be disappointed!
