I remember one autumn afternoon, my grandma, bless her heart, tried sending me a slice of her famous apple pie through the mail for my birthday. Bless her heart. You can imagine the state it arrived in! Inspired by that soggy (but well-intentioned) pie, I set out to capture the essence of her apple pie in a form that could actually be enjoyed from afar: the Apple Pie Milkshake! It's like a hug from Grandma in a glass—comforting, familiar, and utterly delicious. I just know I'll always love that apple pie. So, if you're anything like me, your day starts with something sweet. Try it out.
This Apple Pie Milkshake is more than just a sweet treat; it's an experience. It's the perfect way to use up leftover apple pie filling (if there ever is any!) or to satisfy that craving for apple pie without the fuss of baking an entire pie. It’s quick, easy, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. I’ve shared this recipe with friends and family, and it’s always a hit. Even my picky nephew, who usually turns his nose up at anything that isn't chicken nuggets, asks for seconds. Now that's saying something!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, prepare the apple pie filling: In a small saucepan, combine the diced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a tablespoon of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Next, gather your ingredients: Make sure your vanilla ice cream is slightly softened for easier blending. Have your milk, cooled apple pie filling, graham cracker crumbs, and any desired toppings ready to go.
- Now, blend the milkshake: Add the softened vanilla ice cream, milk, and half of the cooled apple pie filling to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the milkshake is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add the graham cracker flavor: Stir in half of the graham cracker crumbs to the milkshake, just enough to give it that hint of graham cracker without making it gritty.
- Assemble the milkshake: Pour the milkshake into a tall glass. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of the remaining graham cracker crumbs, and a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired. Be generous!
- Garnish and serve immediately: For an extra touch, garnish with a cinnamon stick or a slice of apple. Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent Apple Pie Milkshake!
📝 Notes
- For a thicker shake, use frozen apple slices.
