It seems frappes are the “in” drink these days and with so many flavors out there it is easy to see why. If you’re not a coffee drinker though or looking for something with more of a traditional fall flavor and the same consistency as a frappe, the Caramel Apple Slushy is perfect.
Ingredients:
Apple cider, approximately 1 cup
1 cup cold apple cider
¼ cup caramel syrup
1 tbsp raw sugar
Instructions:
Fill one full size ice cube tray with apple cider. Freeze for 2-3 hours or until solid.
Combine apple cider ice cubes, cold apple cider, caramel syrup, and raw sugar in blender.
Blend on medium/high speed until ice is crushed and mixture has taken on a slushy consistency.
You can also add a dash of cinnamon if you’d like.
Transfer slushy to mason jar or glass and drizzle additional caramel syrup on top.
Serve immediately.
If desired, add homemade whipped cream to the top prior to drizzling with caramel syrup.

September 30, 2014 at 10:12 amThat sounds perfect for me. I can’t drink coffee too often because it makes me jittery. I like the flavor combo.

September 30, 2014 at 7:45 pmI wish I would have had this recipe last year. My daughter conned me into buying a jug of apple cider and she never drank it. This sounds fabulous.
