Why You’ll Love this Apple Butter Ice Cream

For me, ice cream knows no season. I remember venturing downtown in the snow with my mom and sister years ago. The rest of the family thought we were crazy, but we just had to get our ice cream fix.

In St. Louis, we have an incredible nitro ice cream shop called Ices Plain and Fancy. Among some of their inspired flavors, they offer apple butter ice cream. We’ve had it a few times at local attractions and I fell in love.

Since it’s a 30-minute drive to visit their shop, I decided to recreate it at home using just 3 ingredients for an incredibly creamy, dream fuss-free fall ice cream! It may not smoke, but it is guaranteed to make you smile with joy.

What is Apple Butter?

For all of you that might be grossed out right now thinking I put actual butter in the ice cream, don’t worry apple butter isn’t actual butter!

Apple butter is a highly concentrated form of applesauce. Its produced by long, slow cooking of apples with cider or water until the sugar in the apples caramelizes. This turns the apple butter a deep brown. Aka its pretty much applesauce’s grown up sister and she’s amazing.

It’s typically used as a spread on just about anything you want. I love it on biscuits, crackers, muffins, waffles… You name it, I’ve probably put apple butter on it.
