These creamy apple pie popsicles are a fun spin on the classic Fall dessert! Made with apple sauce, apple cider, cinnamon and graham crackers, they’re perfect for the transition to cooler weather. Vegetarian with dairy free, gluten free and vegan options.

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.

Apple Pie Popsicles

Yield: about 4 to 5 popsicles, depending on molds
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

These creamy apple pie popsicles are a fun spin on the classic Fall dessert! Made with apple sauce, apple cider, cinnamon and graham crackers, they’re perfect for the transition to cooler weather. Vegetarian with dairy free, gluten free and vegan options.

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**

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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).

Notes

*To keep these dairy free / vegan - use canned light coconut milk (shaken well) in place of the half and half.

**To keep these dairy free / vegan / gluten free - be sure to use appropriate graham crackers.

I have the Zoku Classic Ice Pop Molds - which yield about 4 to 5 pops for this recipe. But this will vary widely depending on what popsicle molds you have and use.
