Apple Pie but in ice cream form, this Apple Pie Protein Ice Cream is the ultimate combination of apple pie with vanilla ice cream.

This Apple Pie Protein Ice Cream is easy to whip up in the Ninja Creami and is insanely delicious!

What Makes This Recipe Great

With the purchase of the Ninja Creami I have really gotten to experiment with some fun combos year round and this Apple Pie Protein Ice Cream is my latest obsession. Made with real apples, any type of milk you like, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg and of course Flav City Vanilla Protein Powder.

Ingredient List

  • Almond Milk– any milk you prefer will work
  • Applesauce– unsweetened or cinnamon is best
  • Vanilla Protein Powder- my go to is Flav City 
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Allspice
  • Apples– I recomend a non-tart apple, such as gala or pink lady 
  • Butter– unsalted so you can control the salt in the recipe
  • Brown Sugar
  • Graham Cracker

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Grab your blender and add almond milk, applesauce, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice combine completely.
  2. Pour into your creami container and freeze on a flat service for 24 hours.
  3. To make the apple mixture place a pan over medium heat, add chopped apples, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook for around 5 minutes until everything is combined, allow to cool. The apple mixture should be cooled and chilled before adding to the ice cream.
  4. Once base is frozen place in the creami and hit “light ice cream’ button.
  5. Once that is done it will be slightly crumbly. Use a butter knife to dig out a core down the middle. Add in 1 tbsp milk and press as much of the apple mixture as you can down the center of the ice cream.
  6. You might have some leftover apple, just save it to serve on top. Make sure they are distributed all the way down to the bottom and then put it back in the machine and press ‘re-spin’.
  7. The last thing you need to do is take your graham cracker add then and press the mix in button. Enjoy!

Pro Tips

  • My best tip is to make sure you test out your creami as much as possible. Don’t be afraid to try different buttons on the machine, it took my a few times to get comfortable with it but I promise the most delicious creations are going to come out of it if you let the machine work it’s magic!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I refreeze leftovers?

  • Yes! If there are leftovers you can flatten the top of the mixture in the container then refreeze them. But of course they will be rock solid again so you can either take it out and let sit on the counter for 15 minutes or run it back through the Ninja CREAMi on respin once.

How is the Ninja CREAMi different than a blender?

  • With a blender, even a high powered one, you need to add a decent amount of liquid for it to blend.  With the CREAMi you get super thick ice cream and sorbets that is unmatched!

Do you have to freeze the base for 24 hours?

  • The Ninja CREAMi guide says you must freeze for 24 hours but I have tried to use it after they have only frozen for 6-8 hours and it still works great just slightly less thick.

Apple Pie Protein Ice Cream (Ninja CREAMI)

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • tsp nutmeg
  • tsp allspice
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped apple
  • ½ Tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp almond milk
  • 1 graham cracker sheet

Instructions 

  • In a small blender combine almond milk, applesauce, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and blend together.
  • Pour into your ninja creami container and freeze for 24 hours.
  • Then make your apple mixture, this can be made when you are about to eat but if it is hot it will melt the ice cream quicker.  It is best to make the day before and keep refrigerated while the rest freezes.
  • To make apple mixture, place a pan over medium heat. Add apple, butter, brown sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon in to the pan and stir to combine. Cook apples for 5 minutes then let cool.
  • Once base is frozen, place in your ninja creami and press ‘light ice cream’.
  • Once that is done it will be slightly crumbly. Use a butter knife to dig out a core down the middle. Add in 1 tbsp milk and press as much of the apple mixture as you can down the center of the ice cream. You might have some leftover apple, just save it to serve on top. Make sure they are distributed all the way down to the bottom and then put it back in the machine and press ‘re-spin’.
  • Then it will look amazing and you can easily press some graham crackers down the middle and put it in one more time and press “mix-in”.

    This creami is amazing!! Apple pie is my husbands favorite so glad to have something that is a little more healthier. Thank you for this recipe.

  2. The protein values seem off in the nutrition facts….a scoop of protein powder has about 20+ g of protein for most, so if this is 2 servings it should be at least 10+ g of protein
