Caramel Apple Milkshake
This Caramel Apple Milkshake recipe is simple to make, and is timely with apple season in full swing. We get a huge bag of apples each time we go to the store, as my kids eat 1-2 per day. Right now Katie requests ‘green apples’ each time, yett she’s the only one that eats them, so I’ve been using the rest in my smoothies and various recipes.
Over the weekend the girls were asking for a milkshake, which immediately made me desperately want one as well. Yet before I answered, I quickly tallied the total for us all plus a friend that was over, and at $5-$6 bucks a pop – no way! I would rather use that money elsewhere, so I decided that making one at home was the way to go.
This Caramel Apple Milkshake hit the spot, saved money versus going out to get one, plus I got to stay in my pyjamas and relax.
You’d think I’d crave milkshakes more in the hot summer months, yet it’s only lately that I’ve been dreaming about all-things-milkshake. Perhaps it’s the time of year and the need for total comfort food … and milkshakes are so very comforting! You can cut that craving in no time!

I never make milkshakes at home or even order them when I’m out but they always look delicious so I don’t know why I don’t! This one looks especially awesome with all that caramel sauce!

Extremely sweet and liquid-y. Tried cutting the cider in half and used the caramel only as garnishment. Threw in some cinnamon and nutmeg and it was amazing.
Kathy says
My new favorite treat! This time I only used 1 cup of apple cider, but increased the caramel a bit. I also added some cinnamon to taste, but otherwise stuck with the recipe. Yum!! When I get a craving for this, nothing else will do!
