Instructions
For the Apple: Peel and core apple and place in a microwave safe bowl. Fill the core with brown sugar and sprinkle the outside with cinnamon and nutmeg. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 5 minutes. BOWL WILL BE HOT. Carefully remove plastic wrap and let apple cool slightly before you puree it. Place in the refrigerator until chilled.
For the Crust: Spread a refrigerator pie crust onto a pizza pan, and sprinkle with granulated sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 9 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool. Use about 1/4 of the crust for the blizzard, the rest is for garnishing and snacking!
For the Whipped Cream: Whip cream with vanilla and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
For the Blizzard: Use cold, frozen hard ice cream. Place in a stainless steel bowl, and blend until just smooth. Don't over blend or it will get runny. Quickly add in chilled apples, and fold in pie crust pieces. Serve immediately, garnish with whipped cream sprinkled with apple pie spice.
