How to Make a Smoothie that Tastes Just like Apple Pie

Make no mistake. This is a drink.

It’s not pie.

But if you took a bite of chilled apple pie and washed it down with a glass of almond milk, this is what it would taste like.

This apple pie smoothie is one of those you make once and then make daily for weeks, especially after a visit to the apple orchard.

Heck, I recently found a sign reminding me of this drink.

Do visit apple orchards. Do not waste apples. (Make one of these smoothies!)

There’s a lot to dislike about apple orchards. They’re:

• A schlep.
• Not an inexpensive activity.
• Usually filled with oblivious children.
• A sign that summer is over.
• Something that everyone on Instagram likes to show that they’re doing.

But you know what? They’re the good kind of romantic. Real romantic.
