Apple Pie Milk Shake

Apple Pie Milk Shake

Last week when I canned apples, I had extra cooked apples because I ran out of jars.  I decided to make a delicious Fall treat with the extras and came up with this milk shake recipe.

1 cup vanilla almond milk

1 cup canned apples (can be plain, cinnamon or spiced)

10 scoops vanilla ice cream

1/4 tsp apple pie spice

Pour 1 cup almond milk into blender pitcher, add apples until milk and apples reach the "2-cup" level.  Then add ice cream and pie spice.  Blend for about 10 seconds.  Makes approx 4 cups.

If you don't have canned apples, canned pears will work just as well.  You can also peel, core & halve apples and cook in a little water until soft.

Apple pie spice: 

1/4 cup ground cinnamon

1 Tbsp ground allspice

2 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground cardamom (optional)

Mix all ingredients well and store in air-tight jar.
