How to Make Caramel Apple Pie Milkshake with Whipped Topping
Let’s get started on creating this irresistible Caramel Apple Pie Milkshake!
Step 1: Prep Work
Begin by peeling, coring, and dicing your apples into small, bite-sized pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the apple cubes with a touch of butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon until they’re tender and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Allow the apples to cool slightly before adding them to your blender.
Step 2: Main Cooking Process
In the blender, combine the sautéed apples, vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3: Final Steps/Assembly
Pour the caramel apple pie milkshake into your serving glasses. Top each one with a dollop of whipped cream and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce for the ultimate finishing touch.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
If desired, you can garnish the milkshakes with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, a crumbled graham cracker, or a slice of fresh apple for an extra-special presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this milkshake in advance?
While the milkshake is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the sautéed apples and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, simply blend the apples with the remaining ingredients and top with whipped cream.
Can I use frozen apples instead of fresh?
Absolutely! Frozen apples work just as well in this recipe. Simply thaw them before sautéing, and adjust the cooking time as needed to ensure they’re tender and caramelized.
Is this milkshake suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
To make this milkshake vegetarian-friendly, use non-dairy ice cream and milk alternatives. For a vegan version, swap the dairy products for plant-based options and omit the whipped cream topping.
Can I make this milkshake without a blender?
While a blender is the easiest way to achieve a smooth, creamy texture, you can also use a handheld immersion blender or even a simple fork and whisk to mash and combine the ingredients.
How can I make this milkshake extra decadent?
For an even more indulgent treat, try adding a scoop of dulce de leche or caramel ice cream to the mix. You can also drizzle the milkshake with a homemade salted caramel sauce or top it with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers or cinnamon-sugar.
