🗒 Ingredient notes (+ substitutions)
- Apples: I used Honeycrisp apples for their super sweet flavor, but you can use other kinds of apples, such as Gala apples or McIntosh apples.
- Dairy-free yogurt: I LOVE and use the plain cashew yogurt from the brand Forager Project for almost all my recipes calling for vegan yogurt. You can use sweetened and vanilla-flavored yogurt if you want, although you might need to adjust the amount of maple syrup and vanilla extract if doing so.
- Maple syrup: pairs so well with the apples and cinnamon, but you can use any sweetener that you prefer, such as granulated sugar or agave nectar.

📝 Variations
- Topping: once you pour the popsicle mixture into the mold, you can garnish the top part with some granola or chopped nuts for more texture. Or, drizzle some caramel sauce at the bottom of the mold before pouring the apple mixture.
- Fruit: you can swap one of the apples for an orange or a peach!
- Coconut milk: feel free to swap the yogurt for full-fat coconut milk for a different flavor profile.
- Sour apple popsicles: use green apples and add a little more lemon juice for a lovely sour ice pop!

💡 Helpful tips
- I highly recommend using a silicone popsicle mold, they make the unmolding process so much easier! Simply run some warm water over the silicone mold until you can gently pull the popsicles out.
- Wait for the last minute before slicing your apples so they don't have time to turn brown before blending (the lemon juice will help to keep a bright color!).
- Taste the mixture straight from the blender! You can add more cinnamon or maple syrup depending on your taste.
❗️ Storing apple popsicles
You can unmold all the popsicles at once to free up space in your freezer and to be able to use your popsicle mold for other recipes. I also find that popsicles store better once out of the mold. You can simply transfer them in a container, large plastic bag or use individual bags. Try to enjoy them within 3 months!
❓ FAQs
Yes! In that case, use about 2 cups of apple sauce and omit the water.
No, you don't need to peel the apples! When incorporating apple peels in a recipe, I recommend to use organic apples and to thoroughly wash them before using. Apple peel is loaded with nutrients and will add color to the popsicles!
Yes, you can. Simply pour the mixture into small paper cups, then cover them with foil. You can make a small opening over the foil using a sharp knife to be able to place popsicle wooden sticks, then transfer in the freezer.
