Apple Pie Floats

Apple Pie Floats combine vanilla ice cream with apple cider in a refreshing fall dessert! Whipped cream, caramel sauce, and cinnamon topping.

Do you ever find yourself looking for ways to use up that big container of apple cider? I always buy a big gallon of it at the apple orchard each year and then end up scrambling to finish it. This idea for an ice cream float with apple cider is fantastic! I’ve never thought of it before.

I made one of these Apple Pie Floats for Bob and I to share. Not knowing the name of this recipe, Bob took a sip and said “it tastes like apple pie!” 🙂 He did comment that he would prefer a tad more ginger ale, so I’ve made a note in the recipe below to adjust to your own taste. Happy Fall!!!
