– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3. Press the crumb mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish to form a crust.

6. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the ice cream and use a knife to swirl it gently for a marbled effect.

8. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
