The Best Apple Pie Protein Ice Cream

apple pie protein ice cream – ninja creami

if you’ve been craving the flavors of warm, spiced apple pie but want something cool, creamy, and nourishing, this apple pie protein ice cream is going to be your new favorite treat.

it’s made right in the ninja creami, but i’ve also included a no-churn option for anyone without the machine.

taste + texture

this ice cream tastes exactly like a slice of apple pie à la mode, but in frozen form.

perfect for this (still hot) summer days when you’re ready for a little bit of fall!

the base is sweet, rich, and subtly spiced with pumpkin pie spice, while the sticky, cinnamon-infused apples swirl through every bite.

the crumble topping adds a buttery, cookie-like crunch that ties everything together.

the ninja creami makes it ultra-smooth and creamy, but thanks to the caramelized apples and baked crumble, you get little bursts of texture that feel indulgent and satisfying.

nutritional benefits

this isn’t just dessert — it’s packed with protein from greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder, making it a great post-workout treat or afternoon pick-me-up.

the apples bring in fiber, vitamin c, and natural sweetness, while the coconut milk adds healthy fats for a satisfying mouthfeel.

with balanced carbs, fats, and protein, it’s a treat that fuels your body instead of leaving you sluggish.

why it tastes just like apple pie

it’s all about the combination of warm spices, sweet-tart apples, and that buttery crumble.

sautéing the apples with cinnamon, maple syrup, and a splash of coconut milk creates a sticky, pie-filling texture.

when you mix those into the creamy vanilla base and top it with golden crumble, it’s basically like eating frozen apple pie with ice cream — no oven-baked crust required.

substitution options

• yogurt: swap greek yogurt for a dairy-free variety if you’re keeping it vegan.
• protein powder: use any flavor you love, but vanilla works best for that classic pie flavor.
• apples: pears are a great swap for a fall-inspired twist.
• oil: use coconut oil instead of avocado oil for a sweeter, more tropical flavor.
• sweetener: maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave if preferred.

no-churn option

if you don’t have a ninja creami, simply blend the ice cream base, pour into a freezer-safe container, and freeze for about 3–4 hours, stirring every 30–45 minutes to break up ice crystals.

once thickened, fold in the apples and crumble by hand before serving.

storage

store leftover ice cream in the creami pint or a freezer-safe container for up to 1 week.

if it becomes too firm, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping.

the crumble can be stored separately in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

the apples should be stored in the fridge and stirred into the ice cream just before eating for the best texture.
