About a mile from my house is a wonderful apple orchard. There you can pick your own apples and pumpkins or buy them directly from their “barn” shop. You can watch them make apple cider too, which was always a huge hit with my kids when they were small. They sell apple cider by the half gallon and the gallon and my kids adore it.
They also offer a seasonal treat – apple cider shakes. I asked them what was in it and they said soft serve vanilla ice cream, apple cider and cinnamon. Well heck, not to take any glory away from them or anything, but I can do that!
As I type I can hear my daughter slurping the last of the shake you see in the picture. She’s an apple cider shake fanatic. :) These are fantabulous (um, that’s a word? Blogger didn’t correct it LOL) and you really must try them!
Apple Cider Milkshake
5 scoops of vanilla ice cream
1 1/4 cups apple cider
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
Place everything in a blender and blend into a shake. Insert straw, slurp.
You can of course adjust to your own tastes, but we think these are fabulous as they are. This concoction makes a full glass like you see here and another smaller glass. Sorry, no technical measurements available, they aren’t around long enough!

An apple cider shake is a great idea! I have been picking up freshly made apple cider from the farmers market, though so far I have just been drinking it plain, chilled or hot.
Wow, I've never seen a recipe like this! It looks delicious and is great for apple season.
Your milkshake sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing :)
I just bought more apple cider today. Alexis and I will have to try this recipe. We both love cider and milkshakes! I would've never thought of putting the two together.
Hmmm? My husband and the boys love apple cider. We'll have to try this.

YUM! Spotted this on foodgawker and had to come check it out. Too bad it is FREEZING today, but you can bet I'll be trying it if we get a little warm spell before winter is here to stay.
an apple cider shake is a new one on me. Sounds delicious. You take your shots outside on your deck railing, just like me.
This milkshake sounds really interesting! I have apple cider in my fridge too.

I tried this after a friend, who owns an apple orchard, told me to try it. Yes, it is as delicious as it sounds. My family loves cider shakes.
We get our cider from an Amish family and it is naturally very sweet and flavorful. I prefer it over the cider sold at the grocery chains.
