Vegan Apple Pie Smoothie

by:




Here is my vegan gluten-free apple pie in a glass. This apple pie smoothie is absolutely fantastic! This blend captures everything I love about a great piece of apple pie the creamy, buttery apples with just a hint of sweetness, and cinnamon. Who doesnt love a hot slice of steaming apple pie on a cold Winters night? But just like my pumpkin pie in a glass, this smoothie satisfies the need for a slice of apple pie, without having to bake. Now I dont know about you, but I dont like sugary, sickly-sweet, syrupy apple pies. I have always thought it detracted from the natural beauty and sweetness of the apple. So, in the spirit of replicating my perfect bite of apple pie, I have held back on the sweetener in order to let these apples shine. The raw cashew milk adds that much needed hint of a nutty pastry flavour, and the cinnamon and vanilla perfect the blend. I was craving a piece of apple pie a few months ago, and not wanting to pull out my baking plates, I remembered my pumpkin pie smoothie, and looked to my blender (my Vitamix) for inspiration. This apple pie smoothie bore some pretty sweet fruit. I quickly stewed some apples in a saucepan for 5 minutes with some filtered water. But you could easily throw in some unsweetened organic applesauce.
