Boozy caramel apple ice cream

The only thing better than ice cream on pie is ice cream that tastes like pie, are we right? This boozy ice cream tastes just like a piece of apple pie, complete with a crunchy crust! We paired our luscious ice cream with spiced rum, but bourbon works just as well! Just beware, you'll never want regular pie again. The addition of the rum makes this ice cream soft and custardy, and perfectly scoopable even after a few days of freezing.
