How to Make a Cinnamon Apple Ice Cream Sandwich

By Shalayne Pulia at University of Illinois

I call this yet another product of my “yes, you can have it all” attitude. Cool ice cream, chewy cookies, chocolate and peanut butter chips and a gooey cinnamon apple core – it doesn’t get much better than that combo.

#SpoonTip: Try not to let your roommates eat all the cookie dough before you’ve finished frying the apples.
