Instructions

Add the whole milk to a blender, followed by the vanilla ice cream.
Add the caramel sauce, cooked cinnamon apples, and pure vanilla extract to the blender.
Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then on medium-high speed for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check the consistency and add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time if the shake is too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour the milkshake into a chilled 16-ounce glass.
Top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and a long spoon.

Tips

Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the cooked cinnamon apples to balance sweetness. Prepare cooked apples ahead and chill to save time.
