Apple Pie Milkshake is the best of both worlds – apple pie and a milkshake – a marriage made in heaven.
When I think about apple pie, I think about all things fall and Thanksgiving. Milkshakes, on the other hand, remind me of a hot summer day. Since I live in the south and fall is seldom very cold, this is the perfect fall or summer drink.
An Apple Pie Milkshake is so easy to make. All you need to a premade apple pie, vanilla ice cream, milk and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.
As American As Apple Pie
We’ve all heard the above slogan numerous times. So, I researched and found out that neither apples nor apple pie originated in America. Apples are native to Asia and the early colonists of Jamestown brought apple seedlings and cuttings from European trees.
I read somewhere that the first written apple pie recipe can be traced back to 1381. It included raisins, pears, and figs in addition to the apples. And, it contained no sugar. Doesn’t sound very appealing to me.
I like the modern-day version of apple pie and it flavors a milkshake wonderfully.
Apple Pie Milkshake Is A Special Occasion Shake
For me, this is a special occasion dessert shake. It’s not an everyday event. Sometimes, I’ll use a smaller slice of pie, reduced fat ice cream, and low-fat milk or almond milk. It’s not as decadent, but it works.
Apple Pie Milkshake
You’ll need a slice of apple pie for each shake. For this recipe, I bake Mrs. Smith’s Dutch Apple Pie according to the directions on the package. Let cool completely.
To make one shake, place a slice of apple pie in a blender with three scoops vanilla ice cream (about 3/4 cup of ice cream). Add 1/4 cup milk, two dashes of cinnamon and one dash of nutmeg. Blend together until creamy.
If the milkshake is too thin, add more ice cream. If it’s too thick, add more milk. You can top the milkshake with whipped cream if desired.

Yes! This looks so amazing. I love apple pie and never thought to have it in milkshake form. Now I’m intrigued and excited to try it.
Wow this looks amazing. I would love one of these for dessert.
We all love apple pie and putting in a milkshake has to be amazing. I have to go out and get a pie so i can make this soon.
OK now this sounds like the perfect milkshake and perfect for autumn as well as I always think of apples at this time of year.
This is the most perfect summer to ease into fall from summer. While it’s still a bit warm out, but you’re getting the yummy flavors of fall in a nice cool drink. Two seasons, one killer milkshake!
Every time I see a recipe for apple pie, it always reminds me of my grandmother. She loved baking fresh apple pies, cobblers, or make other desserts. They had several apple and peach trees so every summer she would pick them off the tree to make fresh treats. It’s been so long since I’ve made any pies. I don’t indulge in pies very often because there is usually too much crust and not enough filling for my liking. But the apple pie and milkshake sounds like a match made in heaven.
This milkshake needs to be so delicious! I think this will be a new favorite in our house!
Apple pie milkshake? I love milkshake and I’ve had apple pie before, but never had them together like this. I bet that is good!
I definitely have to try and apple pie milkshake! Oh my gosh that sounds amazing!
Ohhh…I’d never have thought of apple pie milkshake. I love milkshakes and this one looks delightful. I’m going to have to try that recipe.
What a clever idea! Hot apple pie a la mode usually ends up a sloppy mess on your plate anyway. Might as well start out in a glass!
This is so easy to prepare. I think this will be a perfect drink for me and my niece.
Now, this is my kind of milkshake! I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this before. I have to have this immediately!
Oh my apple pie loving family would swoon over this. I need to plan a special occasion to celebrate them with this!
Oh yes! This sounds sooo sooo good! I am obsessed with apples right now. Move over pumpkin spice!
There’s nothing more delicious than apple pie. Throw in a milkshake of this flavor and I’m melting.Would love to remake this one in the future.
OMG this looks amazing!
