Caramel Apple Milkshake Recipe by AcuteDesigns

Hi!  I'm Gina of {Acute Designs} and I am so excited to be here today to share with you guys a tasty little recipe I created.

Fall is in full swing and everyone seems to be apple picking and posting their favorite fall recipe {myself included :)}.  Nine months out of the year, I am not a big fan of apples....but come September, they are in my shopping cart every week.  I decided to do something a little different with a few apples this year and I created a caramel apple milkshake / cocktail.

Apples + ice cream + caramel + whipped cream vodka = a very happy me!

Caramel Apple Milkshake / Cocktail 
-1 1/2 cup of ice cream {I used low fat vanilla but a dulce de leche variety would be amazing}
-3/4 cup apple cider
-2 medium apples, peeled and diced
-2 heaping tablespoons + a little extra for drizzling of caramel sauce {usually found near the ice cream...this brand is my favorite}
-3 tablespoons of apple butter {store bought or make your own using my simple crock pot recipe}
-a handful of ice
-optional - 4 ounces of whipped cream vodka {this brand is uh-mazing....you can thank me later :)}
Put everything in a blender and whirl away.  If your blender struggles to get going, add an extra splash of apple cider.   Once well blended, pour into glasses and drizzle a little caramel sauce around the top.
This recipe will make about three 8oz milkshakes or decadent cocktails.  Feel free to double it if you have a thirsty crowd.

Enjoy!
