Apple Pie Popsicles

Apple Pie Popsicles | Cookie Monster Cooking

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.
