Apple Pie Floats
January 5, 2011 by Shelley
Aren’t ice cream floats the perfect instant treat? I mean really, they take what,… a whopping 30 seconds to make?! Instant satisfaction! 
I know ice cream floats are a huge hit at my house, especially with the kids.
I recently stumbled across a brilliant idea…
Apple Pie Floats!
I know, I know, it kinda sounds crazy, but trust me. If you love Apple Pie, and if you love floats, you are in for a treat.
This Apple Pie Float recipe is a little trickier than the regular two-ingredient float. Do you think you can handle three?!
Vanilla Ice Cream, GingerAle, and Apple Cider (use high quality apple cider).
Mix to desired taste. (I like 50% cider, 50% soda). Garnish with a little cinnamon for an extra kick.
I’ve also heard cinnamon ice cream or apple pie ice cream are FABULOUS substitutes for the vanilla ice cream.
Wanna know my very favorite part of an ice cream float? This goodness right here…

Besides the common, yet oh so amazing, Root Beer Floats, what are you favorite float combinations? I also love Orange Soda Floats (with Stewart’s Orange soda,…think creamsicle). Amazing!

When I was little my grandma always made orange soda floats for us. YUM!
Oh yes! We do floats as well. The funny thing is.. we use the gallon size store brand vanilla ice cream. (Food Lion brand) because it has just the right amount of vanilla, and makes the floats rather creamy! Strangest thing ever!
My favorite growing up was grape or strawberry pop with vanilla ice cream. It was a huge treat for us when we got those!
Wow! I’ve never heard of those but am very excited to try them! Thanks for sharing!
what!! these look delicious!!
I love this idea.. Anything to simply tweak to ordinary into something a little more exciting!
My family loves Banana Milkshakes. Use Blue Bell Banana Pudding ice cream (it’s the BEST!) The chunks of nilla wafers get all soggy and DELICIOUS once you mix it with the milk = absolutely fabulous.

YUM! Gotta try this!
What a great idea! Sounds delicious.
Try banana Oreo shakes: use a fresh banana, cut up, spin in a blender with vanilla ice cream, then chunk/crush up some Oreos, mix in and enjoy the yummiest shake in the world!
My kids love purple cows…grape juice with vanilla ice cream.
Every now and then I’ll have a milk float. Yep. Just ice cream and milk-the milk makes the ice cream do the amazing crusty thing times 10-it’s fantastic!
Yummm! I think these will go on the menu for dessert next week. I wonder how they be as *cherry* pie? because I do love me some Cherry pie..Think that’s worth a try as well
Yummy! I must make these! They would be adorable on a dessert table, too!
They look delicious!
My brother recently made eggnog floats. AHmazing! Eggnog, vanilla or eggnog ice-cream, and a dash of rum for the grown ups. Mmmmm.
actually I guess that’s an eggnog shake not an eggnog float. But you get the point: deliciousness!
Oh wow those look delicious! I’ve never been creative with floats – just root beer or orange – but I love them. Thanks for sharing!
These look soooo yummy! Always the best ideas!

Wow what an idea, I have tried pumpkin pie floats yummmm, why not Apple?
Love it!
I am a bit jealous I love your IKEA glasses, we used to have those, but my dear son dropped every last one of them
love this, I would have never thought of it. when i first read the title of your post I thought you were going to have apple pie filling in there. this sounds way better and easier to drink with a straw!
Oooh, I bet this is really good! I love apple cider so I know I;d love this. Thanks!
I have been drawing barns all day and decided to take a break to surf the net. Wow I found you. An Apple Pie Float sounds sooooo Gooood! I may have to go grocery shopping.
