A creamy, milky apple pie milkshake made with real apples and warming spices. Apple Pie Milkshakes are comforting and delicious any time of year.
Even if it’s cold outside, you can still enjoy a rich milkshake—especially one that captures the cozy flavors of fall.
I received a box of beautiful apples from Envy some time ago and was inspired to create this recipe. The post is not sponsored; the recipe and all opinions are my own.
Why You’ll Love These Apple Pie Milkshakes
- Creamy milkshakes with tender bits of apple and warm spice throughout
- All the comforting flavors of apple pie in a fun drink
- Ideal as a dessert after a barbecue or as a cozy treat around a cool campfire
Ingredients
The ingredient list is short and simple:
- Vanilla ice cream (or apple/apple-pie flavored ice cream if you can find it)
- Fresh apples, finely chopped
- Apple pie spice
- Half and half or heavy cream (or milk to thin)
- Optional toppings: caramel sauce, whipped cream, crumbled pie crust
Directions
This recipe is all about blending. Chop the apples into small pieces, add them to a blender with the ice cream, cream or half and half, and apple pie spice, then blend until combined.
If you want to keep some texture in the shake, pulse briefly so small apple bits remain. A wide boba straw makes sipping bits of apple easier, but finely diced apples will be comfortable to drink without one.
FAQs
Can I add actual apple pie to the milkshake?
Yes. Crumble a slice of apple pie and blend it in with the other ingredients for an extra-indulgent shake.
How do I adjust the milkshake’s thickness?
Use milk for a looser consistency. Use half and half or heavy cream for a thicker, richer shake. You can also add more ice cream to thicken or add additional liquid to thin.
Tips & Tricks
- Taste as you go and adjust spice or sweetness to your preference.
- Cut apples into small pieces if you don’t want large chunks in the shake.
- Garnish with caramel, whipped cream, or crumbled pie crust for a festive finish.
Other Milkshake Ideas
If you enjoy creative milkshakes, consider trying variations like strawberry key lime, mint chocolate for Halloween themes, tropical pineapple coconut, chocolate Twix-inspired shakes, simple coffee shakes, watermelon malted shakes, gingerbread shakes, or pumpkin pie coffee milkshakes. These all follow the same basic method: combine ice cream, complementary flavorings, and a splash of liquid, then blend until smooth.
