It\u2019s good ice cream with a mild cinnamon spice flavor, but vanilla ice cream nonetheless. After it gets a bit melty, a very subtle apple flavor appears and completes the pie flavor. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Great-Value-Associates-Choice-Apple-Pie-Ice-Cream-2.jpg?resize=599%2C429&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Great Value Associates Choice Apple Pie Ice Cream 2\" title=\"Great Value Associates Choice Apple Pie Ice Cream 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The shortbread pieces have a 50\/50 shot of being either impressively crispy or as soggy as you\u2019d expect.
