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!
There’s a reason why apples and caramel go so great together, and in a shake form? Heaven!
How often do you make milkshakes at home, and what is your favourite kind?
- 2 cups Vanilla Ice Cream
- 1.5 Cups Apple Cider {juice will work but cider is better}
- 1 granny smith apple peeled, cored, and chopped - plus more for garnish, if desired
- ¼ cup Caramel Sauce plus a bit extra for garnish
- Whipped Cream
-
In a blender add ice cream, apple cider, and ¼ cup caramel. Blend completely.
-
Add apple chunks, and blend until combined.
-
Spoon some caramel sauce into your cup and then pour in the milkshake. Garnish with apple slice, whipped cream, and additional caramel sauce.
-
Enjoy!

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!
this looks good!
Love it. It looks delicious.
This looks delicious. I love it.
Kids will surely love this one.
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.
