Apple Pie Popsicles
I’ve wanted to buy a set of popsicle molds for probably the better part of the last year. I had these visions in my head of all the awesome popsicle creations that I was missing out on. Yet despite my desperation for some molds I was too cheap to buy a set for myself. And while I know I could have also made them in some paper cups, I never wanted to buy those either. I can be weird.
My mom finally put me out of my misery when a set of popsicle molds came in the mail for my birthday last month. I realize that fall is here, but I am definitely one of those people who will eat ice cream (and hence also popsicles) anytime of the year. So I figured a fun fall flavor was in order. And a perfect way to break those babies in.
So let me introduce you to apple pie popsicles – and yes, they do taste like apple pie in the form of a cold treat. They are icy yet slightly creamy, with hints of apple, cinnamon and little pieces of graham cracker crumbs thrown in the mix.
A perfect way to satisfy a sweet craving without eating a giant slice of pie.
Yield: about 4 to 5 popsicles*
Apple Pie Popsicles
Recipe for apple pie popsicles. A classic fall treat in popsicle form. Icy yet creamy, with hints of apple, cinnamon and graham crackers.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup apple cider
- ¾ cup half and half
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- dash of nutmeg
- dash of allspice
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers
Directions:
- Add the applesauce, cider, half and half, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, maple syrup and vanilla to a blender. Process until smooth. Add in the graham cracker crumbs and pulse a few times to combine.
- Immediately pour the mixture into popsicle molds and then freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions (for me it takes about 5 to 8 hours to freeze completely).
*The yield will depend on the size of your popsicle molds.

Thanks Becky!! I keep meaning to take my popsicle molds out from winter hibernation … poor things have been sitting in my closet all winter! : )
Hehe, I’m the same way and have been wanting to get popsicle molds for the longest time too! What a great gift from your mom 🙂 These apple pie popsicles sound amazing, I think these might convince me to get some molds just to make these 🙂 Thanks for sharing Ashley!
I’ve been wanting to buy popsicle molds tooooo!!!! I just can’t seem to get those fancy ones!!!! Can I say how absolutely in love I am with these popsicles! and Apple Pie flavour!!! I’m going to squeal in delight! Lovvvvve it! 🙂
These look so fun! I bet they taste great too. What a great way to start off the fall. I will eat ice cream any time of the year too, but don’t give much thought to popsicles for some reason. Very inventive!
Ugh, now I need to go buy new Popsicle molds! These sound delicious!
Well these look fantastic! Of course I see these at the time of day when my sugar cravings are the worst. I love that all the flavors of warm apple pie are in this icy treat!
yes Yes YESSSS! I need these in my life, asap. I also eat ice cream at all times of the year for some reason, and apple pie in popsicle form sounds like heaven. OMG yes.
haha thanks Jess! Have a great weekend!!
I saw these on twitter the other day and I’m STILL drooling over them. Gosh they look perfect any time of the year.
You’re too funny when you mentioned about not wanting to splurge on popsicle molds. I can be the same way…and in fact was recently so with buying a donut pan. I always say “Am I going to really use this again?” It was a whopping $8 on amazon. 😉
haha I think sometimes I’m worse when it’s cheaper items too…
Ahhh love that you combined the flavors of Fall with the fun of summer!
These are great! I need lots of fall-flavored treats for hot weather, and this is perfection!
Apple Pie Popsicles are brilliant! Maybe I need to buy a popsicle mold.
Wow…. These popsicles sound incredible! Apple pie popsicles, what a great idea!
I’m loving this recipe! Apple pie in a popsicle? Such a wonderful idea for the fall Ashley! And so nice of your Mom to mail you these molds. 🙂 Pinning this for sure!
Apple pie is so much better in ice cream popsicle form 🙂
Wow, you are on an apple recipe roll! I don’t have a popsicle mold but this makes me want one. I love the idea of a creamy apple popsicle. Looks delicious!
I’m weird like that too…not that I’m calling you weird. lol I wanted to make popsicles all year but never got around to getting the molds. They have to be on massive sale right now, right? I think now’s the time to get them! These sound delicious — I’m so into apple flavors right now!
I called myself weird first so it’s cool : ) lol
they look yummy!
These are just too ‘cool’ metaphorically speaking. The sound delicious and creamy. Too funny, I bought ice lolly moulds for the summer but failed to get around to using them 🙂
What an original way to have apple pie! These look so cute and I’m sure they’re delish too. I love frozen treats anytime of the year, so I’m totally making these soon 😉
What a fabulous idea and of course, a perfect flavor for fall! Sounds wonderful! Now I need some popsicle molds!
Yes! Don’t wait as long as I did : ) Although I shouldn’t really talk … lol
What a thoughtful gift from your mom! I try to resist my whims about some new kitchen-related thing but it’s hard! I resisted an ice cream maker for years but it was only a matter of time. These popsicles sound perfect for this time of year. Here’s to many more fun popsicle flavors to come!
Same here! It can be so hard!
I love apple pie! Sooooo you better make these when I visit either in October or November. This is an order from your mom. Ha Ha
haha consider it done mom. You did buy me the molds after all : )
Hahaha, I was the same about popsicle moulds. Took me FOREVER to buy a $3 kitchen tool. These are so creative, I love it! Especially the gram chacker coating 🙂
haha glad I wasn’t alone with that. I knew they weren’t expensive but for some reason I could never bring myself to do it!
It took me a while to buy popsicle molds too. This flavour sounds so perfect for fall. Yum!!
