Apple pie à la mode ice cream sandwiches

Serves: 2
Cooking Time: 30 mins + 2 hrs, to freeze

Ingredients

  • Cookies

  • 60g butter, softened
  • 140g brown sugar
  • 2,5ml (½ tsp) vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 180g cake flour
  • ½ tsp (2,5ml) salt
  • ½ tsp (2,5ml) bicarbonate of soda
  • 60g oats
  • 90g raisins/chopped nuts (optional)
  • Ice cream

  • 1L good-quality vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 400g tin pie apples, chopped
  • 5ml (1 tsp) ground cinnamon
  • hot butterscotch sauce, to serve (optional)

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Cream together the butter and brown sugar, 8 – 10 minutes or until very soft and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg and mix well. Add the remaining dry ingredients and incorporate to form a soft dough.

2

Drop tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake the cookies, 10 – 12 minutes or until golden but still chewy. Allow to cool completely.

3

To make the ice cream, combine the ice cream, apples and cinnamon. Spread into a lined 20cm square cake tin and freeze until firm, 2 hours.

4

To assemble the sandwiches, using a cookie cutter the same size as the cookies, cut out rounds of ice cream and place them in between two cookies of a similar size. Immediately return the ice cream sandwiches to the freezer until firm. Remove from freezer, 5 minutes before serving. Serve with hot butterscotch sauce, if desired.
