Top Tip
Start with high quality apple cider to make sure your popsicles taste really good. I prefer organic and always check the ingredients to make sure they're things I recognize. That usually means it's healthy and organic.
Variations
- Spices: Add a dash of ground cinnamon or even nutmeg to the apple cider mixture for a warm, spicy flavor.
- Caramel Apple: Drizzle caramel sauce into the popsicle molds before pouring in the apple cider mixture for a sweet and indulgent treat.
- Apples: Add diced apples for more texture
- Vanilla Extract: To give it more of a vanilla flavor, add a teaspoon vanilla extract.
Substitutions
- Sweeteners:
- If you want the popsicles sweeter, add honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or stevia for sweetness. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
- Fruit Juice:
- If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute it with apple juice or a blend of other fruit juices like pear juice, cranberry juice, or orange juice.
- Liquids:
- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can substitute some of the liquid with coconut milk, almond milk, apple puree, or yogurt. This will add richness and creaminess to the popsicles.
Storage
- Storage: Wrap each popsicle individually in a wax paper or plastic wrap to layer then put them in a plastic freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up 6 weeks or until it lasts.
