Or “What the Yankee Candle Factory would taste like if it were a food”
(I don’t know about other Yankee stores, but the one near me always smells of cinnamon.)
Here’s a summary of my post today: First, I am going to give you a recipe for a delicious Fall beverage. Next, I am going to introduce a magic ingredient that will transform said “Fall beverage” into a luscious pudding. Ready? Here goes!
Recipe #1:
Apple Pie in a Glass
Ingredients:
-
1 cup milk of choice
-
1 snack-sized container of applesauce (or 1/2 cup)
-
1/2 tsp cinnamon
-
Tiny dash salt
-
sweetener of choice, as desired
Mix everything in the blender (or use a hand blender). Serve either warm or cold.
But wait! Let’s backtrack a little, shall we? What if you didn’t want to drink your apple pie, but eat it in pudding form? That’s where Secret Agent Agar comes in.
Recipe #2:
Apple Pie Pudding
Serves 2
Ingredients:
-
1 and 1/3 cup milk of choice
-
2 containers applesauce
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon agar flakes
-
Tiny dash salt
-
sweetener of choice, as desired
Heat the milk and agar flakes in a small pot, stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 5 more minutes, until the agar flakes are dissolved (mine never dissolve completely, but that’s okay). Turn off the heat and add the applesauce, cinnamon, and sugar (if using), and stir until it’s all mixed up. It’s not supposed to be thick yet, so don’t worry! Put the pot in the fridge and let it cool for at least three hours (You can let it sit for much longer if you want. I usually proceed the next day). The mixture should be gelatinous now. Using a hand blender, blend until creamy. (Note: You can halve the recipe to serve one, but it’s easier to blend if you make two servings.) Serve and enjoy.

I haven’t been brave enough to try Apple Pie in a Glass so far in my life… it’s surfaced quite a few times.
The pudding sounds yummy, though.

Too bad they don’t sell agar in Lubbock! You know how it is here.

kirsten says
wow that looks amazing !!
federal vegan (kate) says
I made this and I *love*it! Thanks for another great idea! I might try it out with pumpkin next time.
catalinamaya says
I made this yesterday, and the aroma was heavenly! Unfortunately, I didn’t have the agar flakes – but I did find a tiny package in my local organic food store for $11 (uh, no thanks!) – so, I subsituted Xanthan Gum, and it got REALLY vicous!
As a novice to the science of various thickening gums, I think 2 teaspoons of the Xanthan may have been a little too much… :/
