Ah, the holidays! There's so much to enjoy about them - family, friends, great food, delicious treats - the list goes on! I don't know what it is about this time of year, but I just feel compelled to get in the kitchen and bake. I'll admit though, I've never attempted a pie before, even though my husband absolutely loves apple pie. When I saw this delicious recipe on the Target website for apple pie a la mode made with Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream, I knew I just had to make it.
Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts
- ½ cup PLUS 1 Tbsp. sugar, divided
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. salt
- 3 ½ lbs. Granny Smith apples (or golden delicious apples), peeled, cored and thinly sliced - I ended up using 3 pounds.
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 egg, lightly beaten with 2 tsp. water
- 4 cups Breyers® Natural Vanilla Ice Cream
- 1 pouch Breyers™ Caramel Flavored Ice Cream Sauce
Directions (altered slightly from original recipe):
Line 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Leave edges overhanging; chill until ready to use.
Combine ½ cup sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Add apples and lemon juice and toss to coat.
Arrange apples in prepared pie crust, mounding in center. Place second crust over apples and press gently to adhere to lower crust. Fold overhanging crust over; flute edge and cut a small hole in center to vent (I did four slits). Chill 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush pie with egg wash. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Place on baking sheet in the lower third of the oven. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake additional 30 minutes, then if your pie crust appears to be browned, cover with foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until apples are tender, filling is bubbling. Cool on wire rack before serving.
For the final touch, top with Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream, then drizzle Breyers Caramel Flavored Ice Cream Sauce on top and serve!
If you want to make this pie for your upcoming holiday get togethers (and really, why wouldn't you?!), Target and Breyers has you covered. Head in-store and take advantage of this special pricing and make a yummy dessert your family and friends will love.

Michele Ash says
Thanks so much for your Delicious Recipe on Apple Pie a la mode! One of my favorite things to make is Brownies. I don't do it too often, so it's definitely a treat when I do! #MySweetHolidays I make brownies as directed on the box. When they are cool, I cut them into squares. When It comes time for Dessert, I heat the brownies back up, top it with Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream and Breyer's Hot Chocolate Topping! It's a cool, yet warm, mix of heaven in a bowl!!!!! Everyone loves it! Another Recipe I do for the Holidays #MySweetHolidays, I make a pecan pie from scratch, When it's completely cooled, we Warm up a slice, place Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream on top and Breyer's Caramel Ice Cream Topping! So mouth watering good! Thanks again for your recipe on Apple Pie a la mode! I do have some apples in the fridge, and you made me so hungry for apple pie! I just may have to make one! Thanks again, I truly do appreciate it! Michele 🙂

Laura S says
This sounds so good. I love sweet and tart together for desserts!

Looks really tasty though I probably would cheat and use the pie crusts you can buy. I do love ice cream on top of hot apple pie. Yum.
Amanda McCollum says
That crust looks so delicious and crispy! I love the idea of the caramel sauce on top... yum!
Lula Ruger says
This look so good i would try this for sure thank you
Dee Lafrenz says
I love this recipe. I used 1/4 cup flour on my pie, it was not enough, it was too runny. I will try the 1/3 cup. Thanks.
Everything else was the same, and the family loved it.
Karen Beckett says
Your pie looks so delicious! Bet your family loves it!
Laurie Arnheim says
This pie looks GREAT, especially the crust!!!

Apple Pie is an all time favorite but my family prefers Dutch Apple Pie kind with the crumb top. I also make Blueberry Crumb top pie to go with Vanilla Ice Cream for my husband.
Stephanie says
I make my apple pies the same way except I sometimes use Mountain Dew in place of the lemon juice. It actually works and tastes' just as yummy!
Mary Dailey says
I have never made an apple pie and I love it, so I'm going to try this recipe! It looks pretty easy!

laurie says

Terrie Swanson says
I made Apple Pies for the first time this year and this recipe looks like one I'm going to have to try. They were so easy to make I don't know why I haven't tried in the past. I think that this is one of the easiest I've seen so maybe for Christmas?
Linda Bradshaw says
Oh wow. I am definitely making this next week!! It is exactly what I was looking for.
Jennifer Burnside says
Oh my does this look amazing! I am always looking for a great apple pie recipe and I think I am going to have to try this one.
Jo-Ann Brightmanj says
I love Apple pie a la mode and I love Breyer's vanilla ice cream. This is a good recipe, although I usually mix different kinds of apples.
Jesselyn A says
Apple Pie, my husband's year 'round favorite ~ especially served "a la mode!" Squeezing caramel sauce or syrup is a brilliant final touch ~ but I'm unfamiliar with Breyer's Caramel Ice Cream Sauce or pouches. I don't think I've ever seen them anywhere in the market. I've seen other brands, but only in jars and plastic squeeze bottles. What section might they be in?
I have a great Cheddar-Apple Pie recipe (with Cheddar cheese in the crust as well as the filling) ~ but let's face it - nothing beats the combo / pairing of apples and caramel!
Rajee Pandi says
yummy plan to try it
Lily Kwan says
This recipe looks very tasty. Thanks for sharing!
Linda Bragg says
I love Apple pie and so does my hubby. Keeping this to my Pinterest board to make later... can't wait to eat this warm with french vanilla ice cream... great post!!
lisa says
This sounds good. Granny Smith apples are the only apples to bake a pie with. I love the caramel sauce over top.
Barrie says
NOTHING tastes better than an (easy) homemade apple pie! Breyer's vanilla bean ice cream is the best too! Perfect pairing!
Sandra Watts says
That looks so good. I like cool whip best on mine though.
