Instructions
 

  • Put about 8-10 cookies in a plastic baggie and crush, either with mallet or rolling pin until a large crumb size, (don’t pulverize, you still want some good crunch.)
  • Transfer crumbs into a bowl, then drizzle with about 1-2 tbsp caramel syrup.
  • Stir together to make a sticky crumble and set aside.
  • Let your ice cream set out at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften.
  • Then add about 2-3 cups softened ice cream to the bottom of your container and spread to edges. (You want to add enough to be about one inch deep.)
  • If you want the pie slices, line a small cake round pan with parchment paper before adding the ice cream to bottom.
  • If you are using the cake round to get the “pie effect”, break ginger snaps in half and place in ice cream, all around the outer sides of the pan.
  • Sprinkle cookie crumble and diced apple pie filling on top of ice cream.
  • At this point, it is optional to drizzle a little caramel syrup on top of the crumble and apples.
  • Next, add another layer of ice cream and then repeat sprinkling with crumble and apple filling. (and caramel drizzle if you wish)
  • Finish with a small layer of ice cream on top.
  • Place in freezer for at least 3 hours.
  • When ready to serve, remove from freezer and scoop, or if you made the pie, lift out of pan using parchment paper and slice.
  • Grab a glass, add some scoops of ice cream, then pour your soda on top and add the pie slice as garnish. DIG IN!
