# Ingredients:

→ Ice Cream Base

01 - 360 ml whole milk
02 - 360 ml heavy cream
03 - 100 g granulated sugar
04 - Pinch fine salt
05 - 2.5 ml vanilla extract
06 - 5 large egg yolks
07 - 240 ml apple butter

→ Oatmeal Crumble

08 - 45 g all-purpose flour
09 - 45 g old-fashioned oats
10 - 53 g light brown sugar
11 - 0.5 g ground cinnamon
12 - 42 g unsalted butter, melted

→ To Serve

13 - Salted caramel sauce, for finishing
14 - Whipped cream, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Place 180 ml heavy cream in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over the top. In a medium saucepan, combine remaining 180 ml heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and mixture begins to steam.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually ladle 240 ml of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper. Return egg mixture to saucepan.
03 - Cook the mixture on medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon or spatula. Pour through the mesh strainer into the reserved heavy cream. Discard any solids. Cool over an ice bath to room temperature.
04 - Transfer the cooled custard and apple butter to a blender and process until completely smooth. Pour into a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator until thoroughly cold, preferably overnight.
05 - Preheat oven to 190°C. In a bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter by hand until combined. Break mixture into pieces no larger than 1.5 cm, spread evenly on a 33 x 23 cm baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely.
06 - Churn the chilled custard according to your ice cream maker's instructions. In a freezer safe container, alternate layers of churned ice cream and oatmeal crumble. Freeze until firm.
07 - Scoop and serve with salted caramel sauce and whipped cream if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Chill the blended custard base overnight for optimal texture and flavor development.
02 - Ensure oatmeal crumble is fully cooled before layering to maintain its crispness.
