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, 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!

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 coconut milk 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.
