几乎没有烤,因为全麦饼干crust you buy for this might need to be prebaked. Here again is a pie the kids can make — and I've gone out of my way to keep it as simple as possible, so they can proceed without Mom or Dad needing to hover too much.
Ingredients
Makes 8 to 10 servings
Step 1
1. Read the package directions on the graham cracker crust and prebake if necessary. You can, of course, use your favorite homemade crust recipe, pressed into a 9-inch pie pan and prebaked. In either case, let the crust cool on a cooling rack while you prepare the apples.
Step 2
2. Melt the butter in a large nonreactive skillet or sauté pan. Add the apples and cook, stirring, over medium heat until they're just about tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice, cook for another minute or so, and remove from the heat. Scrape the apples and their juice onto a large plate and let cool.
Step 3
3. When the apples are almost cool, scrape them and their juice into the pie shell, spreading them evenly in the crust. Without measuring — that's the fun part, not measuring — slowly pour a little less than half of the bottle of caramel evenly over the apples. Put the pie shell in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up the apples and caramel. When you do this, put the ice cream in the refrigerator to soften it.
Step 4
4. After 30 minutes, spoon the softened ice cream over the apples, pressing it down and smoothing it out with the back of a fork. Now pour as much of the remaining caramel over the ice cream as you like. You can pour it in a spiral, a zigzag, or any decorative fashion you like. (Note to kids: you probably won't need to use all of the remaining topping, but you don't have to tell your parents I said that, if you don't want to.) Sprinkle the nuts over the top of the pie, then put the pie back in the freezer for 1 hour to firm it up. No cheating and taking it out before an hour is up. Slice and serve.

Back to TopI hate that I didn't like this - I wanted to but I just couldn't get past the frozen apples. It was just weird. I made this exactly as stated - made my own graham cracker crust. I loved the ease of this recipe, but would have traded the ease for real apple pie with a big scoop of ice cream on top!

This is a good recipe, not a great one. Maybe it's just my family, but frozen apples is not a big hit with any of us. On the other hand, it was pretty easy to assemble and something you could conceivably do with children. I'm just not crazy about the frozen apple taste.

PS: My favorite dulce de leche is "La Lechera". You can find it next to the sweetened condensed milk in the Latin section of most markets. Just prepare yourself, because you will start to find MANY uses for this yummy stuff!

I don't usually review recipes, but this one is special and deserves some extra discussion! It came out fantastic. I followed the recipe almost entirely. I made my own crust because I wanted to make sure my pie dish was deep enough. I used Cortland apples because they looked the best at the store, and added cinnamon to them while they were cooking. (I used regular sugar instead of confectioner's and it melted fine.) People raved about it and said it was the best ice cream pie they'd ever had. I will definitely make this again. Thanks!

This was great! I did not make any adjustments to the recipe and it came out nicely. I froze overnight and let it sit out for 30 minutes before serving. Delicious and pretty on the plate.

Not a rating (yet!); but it appears that a large percentage are thinking that dulce de leche is a brand. It's not, it's just referring to the Mexican caramel (often made with piloncillo, the brown sugar found at markets, and goats milk) Many commercial brands are available. Even easier would be to purchase dulce de leche ice cream (Haagen Dazs makes a good one, but there are others) and layer that with the apples.

This dessert was very easy to make, presentation was great, tastes great...enjoyed by all. The only complaint I have (as some of the other reviewers) is that the apples were much more frozen than the rest of the dessert. Never the less, it will be made again!

Made this over the Chrstmas holidays. Everyone loved this dessert -- the caramel is a great taste with the apples. I made my own graham cracker crust because I could not find a ready-made one big enough for the pie (this fills up a big deep dish). The only problem with the pie is that the ice cream layers soften and are ready to eat way before the apple layer, which stays pretty frozen. Most of my guests didn't seem to mind. Rich, but tastes light and refreshing because of the ice cream.
