Eleanor Ozich of Petite Kitchen shares a fancy apple pie-flavoured milkshake that's guaranteed to be devoured.
Feeling a little fancy? Try this deliciously creamy spiced apple milkshake. The glasses are first drizzled with a salted date and almond butter caramel sauce for something a little bit special, then topped to the brim and sprinkled with cinnamon. My two kids like to devour theirs using a spoon.Enjoy!
