GREEN APPLE ICE CREAM FINALE

Steps:

• Apples -- Mix the apples with the lemon juice and toss well until all the lemons are coated with the lemon juice. This will prevent them from browning. Then place on a small plate or baking sheet and freeze at least 20 minutes. You want them slightly frozen.
• Shake -- After the the apples have been frozen, add them to the blender with the ice cream apple cider, caramel sauce and vanilla extract and blend well.
• Serving and Topping -- Pour into your favorite glasses and top with whipped cream, drizzled with caramel sauce and the salted peanuts. I think the original recipe called for a salted nut candy bar (like a Payday) which was very good, but the second time I made it I just used salted peanuts which was just as good.
• Just enjoy!
