2tablespooncanned applesdrained and chopped (stirred in by hand)
Instructions
Drain the canned apples well.
Blend the cottage cheese, condensed milk, ½ cup apples, half and half, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and sea salt until completely smooth.
1 cup half and half, ½ cup cottage cheese, ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ cup canned apples, Pinch of sea salt
Pour into a 24 oz Deluxe pint and freeze flat for 24 hours.
Let the pint sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then spin on Ice Cream.
If still crumbly, Respin.
Scoop a small well in the center, add the graham crackers, and run the Mix-In cycle.
2 pieces graham crackers
Stir in the chopped apples by hand and serve.
2 tablespoon canned apples
Notes
Blend until totally smooth. Cottage cheese curds turn grainy after freezing.
Thaw first. About 5 minutes on the counter, longer when it's cold, so the pint spins smooth the first time.
Drain the apples well. Extra liquid creates icy pockets.
Want crunchier graham crackers? Sprinkle them on top instead of using Mix-In.
Too soft after spinning? Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes before scooping.
