Oooh what a birthday treat! Friends, fried dough and bourbon ice cream!? We’ll request the exact celebration for our next bday. And really, those honeycrisps, they’re like a whole new level of apple amazing.
Oh, you guys–you are all so sweet! Thanks for the birthday wishes and for always making this a space I enjoy being in (especially on days when the news of the world is kind of depressing) This is a seriously good recipe, I hope you give it a try and tell me about it.
And yes, Beth, fried bourbon ice cream is the next step.
One of my favorite restaurants just put apple fritters with cinnamon ice cream on the menu and it was fantastic. The prospect of making this at home is such a beautiful thought, but I’m seriously afraid of deep frying. Thanks for sharing and happy birthday!
This looks absolutely amazing. The only problem: I don’t have an ice cream maker. I really should invest in one, but I’m scared of what will happen if I do…
Bourbon ice cream sounds amazing. I will have to make it this weekend. I have never seen nonfat dry milk powder in an ice cream recipe though. Do you know its purpose? Happy belated.
Hey Martin, A glaze isn’t my speed, so I haven’t tried it. It would make them more difficult to eat and also I don’t like the idea of glaze + ice cream. BUT, if you were just making the fritters I could imagine it being nice. Maybe a cinnamon glaze.
Thanks for all of the good wishes, everyone!
Lindsey,
Sometimes dry milk is added to recipes to provide some additional dairy-creaminess without diluting it. You could certainly make this without it.
A very Happy Birthday, my dear! As for the dessert, I have a little message for that, too… Sugar, ah honey honey. You are my candy girl. And you’ve got me wanting you. ;)
This kind of sounds like a candidate for a “last meal.” Nothing better than a good apple fritter and bourbon in anything makes me happy. Happy birthday. Sounds like you got yourself a keeper (Bryan) on your hands :)
Hi, Tim. I’m a brand-new reader since spotting your interview over at A Dinner Party, and I can already tell I’ll be back frequently. So many types of hot-pink ice cream here! Thanks for so many good-lookin’ recipes, and happy birthday!
Happy birthday! I bet you had a blast with your friends & this delish dessert! Those apple fritters look great. Your blog is a gem, I will be back for more :)
i saw this apple fritter recipe as well, and thought it would be a perfect way to use some of that peck o’ apples in the fridge. also, anything fried most certainly IS all i need :). happy belated!
Ack! This was a near miss! I had my October issue of Bon Appetit in a stack of magazines I give to a friend when I’ve finished them. And to think, I have a lovely bag of honeycrisps in my kitchen right now. Obviously I need to re-read my magazine. What other recipes did I ignore? Happy Birthday from your Wheaton reader!
Happy Belated Birthday. The things coming out of the L + D kitchen are looking pretty amazing. I am out of town next week but let’s reschedule lunch soon!
Hi to B
Tim, I was honeymooning in New Zealand on your birthday, and just now see how you celebrated. Wonderful. Happy wishes for many, many returns, dear soul!
I have new found love for desserts made with bourbon so, thank you for passing along this ice cream recipe. Both it and the fritters sound mouth watering good!

Apple fritters!! My favorite? Have you tried a glaze instead of the sugar and cinnamon? Also – what other kinds of apples can you recommend??
