Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat yogurt instead of vanilla frozen yogurt. You can also swap the frozen apple juice concentrate with fresh apple juice for a lighter flavor. A dash of nutmeg can enhance the spice profile if you want a more complex taste. If you're after a thicker consistency, add a bit more yogurt or use ice cubes when shaking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this refreshing Apple Pie In A Glass with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon on top for an extra touch. It pairs beautifully with light snacks like cookies or a slice of Grandma's Buttermilk Rolls for a delightful afternoon treat. For a festive twist, consider garnishing with apple slices or whipped cream.

This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. When ready to enjoy, give it a good shake to re-blend, as the ingredients may separate over time. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.
