Ninja Creami Apple Cobbler Ice Cream

Apple cobbler ice cream made in the Ninja Creami ice cream maker takes all of the flavors of your favorite apple cobbler recipes and combines them with smooth and creamy vanilla ice cream to make a delicious frozen treat. I used canned apple pie filling for this recipe to make it super quick and easy to make. The canned apple pie filling already has all of the flavors pulled together for you. It couldn't be any easier!

Depending on what supermarket you go to, you can find the canned apple pie filling in the baking aisle. There are several different variations. They even sell low-sugar or no-sugar-added canned apple pie filling in some stores. While you are at the store, be sure to check out the other flavors of canned pie filling. There's usually cherry, blueberry, peach, lemon, and sometimes raspberry pie filling for sale. Do you know what that means?? You could VERY easily modify this recipe to make all sorts of Ninja Creami cobbler flavors! Peach cobbler ice cream would be so good!!!

Ingredient substitutions for making Ninja Creami Apple Cobbler Ice Cream

The full ingredient list is found at the bottom of the post in the recipe card.

• Cream Cheese- You will need a stabilizer for this recipe. You can use regular or low-fat cream cheese. If you prefer not to use cream cheese, you can use ¼ teaspoon of guar gum instead. I also have put together a list of several other cream cheese substitutes that you can choose from here.
• Vanilla Bean Paste- I almost always use vanilla bean paste because I think it provides a richer vanilla flavor and does not have a strong alcohol taste or smell. If you prefer, you can use vanilla extract.
• Half and Half- Half and half can be substituted with a mixture of ¼ heavy cream and ¾ whole milk. This is not an exact substitution but it's close enough for this recipe.
• Milk- I prefer to use whole milk but you can use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk like oat milk or almond milk.
• Apple Pie Filling- Canned apple pie filling is used. You can use regular or no-sugar added or you can even make your own.
• Granola Topping- Use your favorite granola. Honey Bunches of Oats granola was used in the recipe. Try to use a chunky granola instead of a finer granola.
• Caramel Sauce- Ice cream topping caramel sauce was used, not coffee flavoring syrup. The coffee flavoring syrup is not as thick and will make the ice cream texture more like a soft serve.

Directions for making Ninja Creami Apple Cobbler Ice Cream:

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

1. Pour the softened cream cheese, vanilla bean paste, half and half, milk, and apple pie filling into a small blender and blend until all of the ingredients have combined together. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami container. Be sure not to fill above the max fill line.
2. Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.

Process the Ice Cream

1. After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer. Remove the lid.
2. Place the Ninja Creami pint container into the Ninja Creami outer bowl if your model has one, and then process on "ICE CREAM."
3. If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking, pour in a tablespoon or two of milk and then re-spin by pushing the button for the re-spin cycle. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
4. Dig a well down the center of the ice cream and pour in the granola and caramel sauce. Process on mix-ins.
5. Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!
