It's apple time! I can't get enough apples this time of year. I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And as a snack. And I could wash it all down with a gallon of apple cider. That oughtta keep the doctor away! But, I do actually eat other things, even in the fall. Because I have approximately 1 million apple recipes, I have to do a little picking and choosing. It's so hard to decide what to make sometimes!
Apple pie is one of my favorite all-time desserts. But I'm also pretty fond of spice cakes. Fortunately, I have this great apple pie cake recipe that brings these two great treats together. I love it when I don't have to choose! This is really easy to make, and just tastes like fall! And as if that wasn't enough, I topped it off with an outrageously delicious butter rum sauce, and served it with homemade cinnamon candied pecan ice cream. This dessert is heaven you can eat!
Few things are more satisfying on a hot summer day than an ice cream cake. They are cold, refreshing, sweet, creamy and delicious. I have always been a huge fan of Dairy Queen's ice cream cakes. Who isn't? But I'm not really a fan of the price tag on a Dairy Queen ice cream cake. Fortunately, I can make my own.
That being said, please take note that this is not an exact replica of the Dairy Queen version. But it is still ice cream in a cake pan. To be more specific, it is a layer of ice cream sandwiches, a layer of chocolate ice cream, and a layer of whipped topping. And it has crushed Butterfinger bars and chocolate syrup on top. And it is amazing. So take that, Dairy Queen!
