Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Base

  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt alternative)

Dry Ingredients & Flavorings

  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (or any nut butter)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey, agave, or other sweetener to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground cloves (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other

  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (more or less, depending on desired thickness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple: Peel, core, and chop the apple into smaller pieces to ensure easy blending and smooth texture.
  2. Combine Ingredients in the Blender: Add the chopped apple, applesauce, milk, Greek yogurt (or non-dairy alternative), rolled oats, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (if using), and vanilla extract to your blender for a flavorful and nutritious base.
  3. Add Ice: Add the ice cubes starting with 1/2 cup to control the smoothie’s thickness and chill. You can adjust the amount based on preferred consistency.
  4. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients for 30 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy without any chunks.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Sample the smoothie and if needed, add more maple syrup or honey for sweetness, or extra cinnamon and nutmeg to enhance the spice flavor.
  6. Blend Again (If Needed): If you made any adjustments, blend the smoothie briefly again to fully incorporate the added ingredients.
  7. Pour into a Glass: Pour the smoothie into a serving glass or mason jar, ready to enjoy immediately.
  8. Add Toppings (Optional): Add a dollop of whipped cream or coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free option, sprinkle chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, dust a bit of cinnamon, or drizzle caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
  9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your fresh and flavorful Apple Pie Smoothie at once for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter according to preference.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and milk, and swap maple syrup for agave or another vegan sweetener.
  • Add more oats for a thicker, more filling smoothie or reduce for thinner consistency.
  • Adjust spices to taste depending on how strong you want the apple pie flavor.
  • Adding a scoop of protein powder can boost this into a post-workout treat.
  • If you want extra fiber, leave the apple skin on but wash thoroughly.
  • Use fresh or frozen apples depending on season and availability.
