There’s something magical about combining the flavors of apple pie and creamy milkshake goodness. This Apple Pie Milkshake brings back fond memories of fall days spent with my family. I remember making apple pies with my mom in our Manhattan kitchen. The aroma would fill the air, and my kids would eagerly await the first bite. Now, this milkshake is a way to enjoy those flavors with a little modern twist.

- 1 & 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 8 ounces apple pie
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
Step-by-step instructions
- Place the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla into the body of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or into a large bowl with an electric hand mixer) and whip until stiff peaks are reached; set aside.
- Place the ice cream, half of the stiff whipped cream, milk, apple pie , and apple pie spice into a high powered blender. Blend until smooth.

Recipe tips & variations
For added depth, try using cinnamon or nutmeg in addition to the apple pie spice. If you want a little more crunch, crumble some graham crackers on top for a pie crust-inspired garnish. You can also experiment with different types of apples in your pie for unique flavor variations. Don’t hesitate to serve it in chilled glasses for that extra frosty effect.
Storage & reheating
Luckily, this milkshake is best enjoyed fresh right out of the blender, but if you must store it, cover it and refrigerate it for no longer than 24 hours. To revive the texture, you might blend it again with a little more ice cream. Remember, milkshakes don’t take well to heating, so enjoy yours cold!
FAQs
Can I use a store-bought pie?
Absolutely! A store-bought apple pie works just fine and saves some time. Just make sure it’s nice and crumbly for blending.
What’s the best type of ice cream to use?
I recommend using good-quality vanilla ice cream. It balances the pie’s sweetness perfectly.
Can I make a vegan version?
Yes, you can swap the dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives. Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and a non-dairy milk and ice cream. You’ll get a delicious vegan treat without losing the essence of the original.
