My local grocery store has started stocking a “limited edition” apple pie ice cream (message me for the details, don’t want to be shilling). It’s one of my favorites – not only does it have chunks of real apple and graham cracker crust, but the ice cream itself has a delicious apple flavor. The whole thing tastes like you took a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream and blended it chunky style.
I always figured there was some boring food-science reason you couldn’t make a decent apple ice cream, but this shows it’s perfectly possible. So why isn’t it more common? Apple pie is one of the most popular deserts, and you find apple flavoring in plenty of drinks and candies. What gives?

I’m not sure if I’d personally like apple that much. I like apples and the flavor is refreshing and good, but I just don’t think it’d fit ice cream of all things. Though, if I had one, I wouldn’t be opposed to trying it and I’d rather try apple flavor than something gross lol
Are we talking Apple or apple pie? Because from your post I can’t really tell.
What flavour is apple pie?
Apple + cinnamon
+ butter
So pie. And baked apple doesn’t taste like raw apple.
And brown sugar.
Gotta get those cinnamons-syrup-swirls, amirite?
And cheddar, ya philistines.
This particular one is apple pie, but the ice cream itself (minus the pie crust chunks) would be great on its own.
Why isn’t orange (the fruit) ice cream more popular? I don’t mean sherbet, I mean ice cream. It can be bought in Florida, but I’ve never heard of it anywhere else.
I feel silly asking since you mentioned Florida, but do they use real oranges? Any time I’ve ever seen or tasted orange ice cream it was always that fake stuff.
I do believe it’s made with real orange, especially if you’re get it from a street vendor near the beach. Been years since I had it.
I’ve wondered about the same but with kiwi fruit it’s delicious and refreshing yet you don’t see any flavored drinks or ice cream with that flavor.
I suspect it’s related to the difficulty in processing. Kiwi fruit are quite small and non-trivial to extract the flesh from. This would make it more expensive to extract.
This is less of an issue now that a few decades back. However, most people are quite conservative on their juice choices. Low sales still mean higher cost, which reduces sales.
Kiwi and pineapples have enzyme to break proteins down, causing it taste bitter if they have contact to diary products long enough. Canned pineapples don’t have this issue but I haven’t seen canned kiwi, maybe that explains no kiwi ice cream
Maybe. I have seen pineapple flavored drinks though
In the US we have a lot of strawberry kiwi flavored drinks. Rarely just kiwi by itself though.
I’d drink it. Still just kiwi would be great imho
HEB?
Because it’s too expensive to crunch up a whole iPhone just for one cone.
This should be higher. Even broken iPhones from 3 years ago sell for tens or hundreds of euros.
The same reason they took it back out of skittles and no one gets apple flavored suckers. It isn’t up to snuff.
Is it the one I saw at ALDI? (or possibly the same supplier)
It was pretty freaking good ngl
Most apple flavored stuff sucks, except for apples.
Apple brandy would like a word. One of my favorite liquors, it’s fantastic.
Apple brandy counts as a serving of fruit, not apple flavored.

Corporate studies show that the most popular ice cream flavors are the flavors we’ve always made and new flavors are risky because we don’t know how popular they will be and so we only do the same flavors so we’re always right.
Same reason why you only get reboots and remakes, it’s a safer bet for investment.

Lemmiers Trying Not To Be Communist For 2 Seconds Challenge(Impossible)
Is that what we are?
Lemmiers and not lemmies? Or even better lemmings.
I say lemmiers because we are partaking in the act of lemmying
Sounds like a Babylon 5 character. I vote for Lemmier!
But I want to be a lemming, that way my suicide ideation is just normal.
Idk but grape icrecream is illegal
As it should be
Why?!
Killed someones dog
I’m not really into sweets, but one day i saw a bar of chocolate with grapes on it, and i was like: chocolate with pockets full of grapes? Ymmi. At home i unpacked it and stuffed it in my mouth.
I almost threw up because it wasn’t grapes, it was grappa. Of course we can’t have nice things, we have to waste grapes on rotten ugly juice.
Chocolate with raisins is super common though…
It’s a popular flavor in new england. Gifford’s has apple pie seasonally at their ice cream stands. They also have pumpkin pie ice cream which is my favorite.
The ice cream joint neat my house makes a honey apple gelato that’s pretty incredible, not sure why we don’t see it around more
There is such a variety of apples it’s hard to pick one apple flavor.
Granny Smith. You’re welcome.
