What should you do with a surplus of yogurt, a big and awkward gallon-sized jar of spiced apple cider taking up valuable refrigerator door space, and a hot 79 degree day in the middle of January? Make apple pie smoothies of course. Creamy and sweet with a little tang from the apple cider and the yogurt.
If you have time and you’re not in a rush to blend ‘n chug this immediately, pop one in the freezer and you’ll have apple cider frozen yogurt on your hands, which was perfect to eat while I was watching Top Chef Texas. I have to have a snack or something to slurp while I watch that show. Watching food shows translates into wanting food.
These went down so easily, especially because we were having a little hot snap in San Diego in the middle of winter a few days ago. Nothing like a fall-themed drink, in the middle of winter, when temps were middle-of-summer-like. A drink for all seasons.
Skylar loved these.
I loved that they used up various odds and ends in my fridge. And that I used enough cinnamon to really taste it in the finished smoothie, which was nice because I’m a cinnamon fan and many times it just gets lost, but not in these.

Other smoothie recipes here Do you like apple pie? Apple juice? Apple cider? I’m a fan of all of the above but I don’t have any of them very often. Apple juice and apple cider I tend to only buy in the fall but had unopened plastic jugs of them in the refrigerator and decided to play a game called Operation Use Up This Random Food and the smoothie helped take care of both my thirst and my refrigerator storage issues. Apple Crumble (No-Bake, Vegan, GF) was a recipe I made over and over a few years ago but forgot about it. I like it better than most traditional baked apple pies. Caramel Apple Bars (GF with vegan options) were amazing and I need to re-make those.
