1.Prepare Apple Pie Filling: Freeze 13 x 9-inch stainless steel, metal or glass dish at least 1 hour. In small skillet, cook butter over medium-low heat 4 minutes or just until it begins to brown, stirring frequently; transfer to small bowl.

Cool 30 minutes; cover and refrigerate.
3.Prepare Ice Cream: In large bowl, whisk half and half, cream, sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon until sugar dissolves; pour into frozen pan and freeze 45 minutes or until edges and top of ice cream mixture begin to freeze.
4.Remove pan from freezer; place on dish towel on work surface. With mixer on low speed, beat ice cream mixture 2 minutes; freeze 45 minutes. Repeat 5 to 6 times or until ice cream mixture is creamy and frozen; if mixture is too hard to beat, refrigerate until consistency softens.
