# Ingredients:

→ For the Apple Filling

01 - 4 large apples, peeled and sliced
02 - ½ cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon
05 - ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

→ For the Crumble Topping

06 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
07 - ½ cup rolled oats
08 - ½ cup brown sugar
09 - ½ teaspoon cinnamon
10 - ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

→ For the Ice Cream Layer

11 - 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
12 - 1 cup heavy cream (for decoration)

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let it sit while you prepare the crumble.
02 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread the crumble mixture on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
03 - In a medium saucepan, cook the apple mixture over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, until the apples are tender. Allow to cool completely.
04 - Line a 9-inch springform pan with plastic wrap for easy removal. First, add a layer of the apple mixture at the bottom. Then, add a layer of softened vanilla ice cream, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a layer of crumble topping over the ice cream.
05 - Continue layering with apple filling, ice cream, and crumble until you reach the top of the pan. Finish with a final layer of crumble.
06 - Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
07 - Remove the cake from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and transfer to a serving platter. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and decorate the top as desired.
08 - Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy the layers of flavor and the delightful crunch of the topping.
