These gluten-free, primal, and GAPS diet friendly Apple Pie Popsicles are a healthy, kid-friendly way to celebrate apples and summer!
Apple season.
Apple season is one of my favorite seasons of the year. The weather is starting to cool off (what little bit it does down here in the south), and the leaves begin turning gorgeous colors. And of course, the apples…
While my family loves grabbing an apple and eating it raw, I still love to find other ways to use the delicious fruit. Of course gluten-free apple pie is a favorite, as well as apples in granola, cookies, and scones. And lately, these apple pie popsicles have been immensely enjoyed!
Kid-friendly treats.
Popsicles have always been a hit with my kids, and they love it when I come up with new flavors for them to try out. Honey peach, coconut and watermelon, strawberry coconut, and of course homemade fudgesicles are some of their favorites.
And I don’t mind whipping up a batch of popsicles for them to enjoy. Homemade popsicles are super easy to make and so much healthier than the store-bought varieties. No added artificial or processed sweeteners, flavors, preservatives, or food colorings in these homemade beauties!
And my 5 kiddos aren’t the only ones excited when I make a batch of popsicles. My husband absolutely LOVES them!Â
Apple pie popsicles.
These fun little popsicles are perfect for fall and apple season. They’re based off the Apple Pie Smoothie Bowl recipe I posted a few weeks back, which is also a favorite in my family. I don’t put any sweetener in these popsicles, because I think the apples and bananas are sweet enough, but you can feel free to add a little honey, or even maple syrup, if you want.
I also use milk kefir in these pops, as a way to give them a little probiotic boost. If you’re dairy-free, you can use water kefir or coconut milk instead. It will change the flavor, but they’ll still be delicious!

I am making popsicles today! Such a great way to beat the heat!
It is! Tasty and refreshing!
Apple is my favorite type of pie, and this healthy popsicle version sounds delish! I also prefer to use super ripe bananas instead of adding sweetener to my smoothies. My husband would love to have these stashed in our freezer as well!
Thank you, Tempie! It’s so nice to have healthy treats on hand!
Such a fun flavor! I love that you snuck in some kefir! 😉
Haha, thanks! I love sneaking it in where I can. 😉
These sound delicious! I love those yummy apple pie flavors, perfect for our still hot summer weather and anticipation of fall quickly approaching. And … she is such a cutie pie!
Aw, thanks Emily! I lover her. Haha.
I’m on the lookout for dairy-free ideas for my niece.
These look delicious — and honestly — sound amazingly good — for anyone — dairy tolerant or not!
Thanks!
Thank you, Carol! They are a favorite of my kiddos!
These are so fun! And your daughter’s cute little face is too much!
Haha! Thanks, Linda!
These are so super cute! Great idea to use milk kefir in the popsicles too, I love the probiotic element.
Thank you so much, Monique!
Raia, this looks so easy and delicious! Our gala apples are almost ready from our backyard tree so I’m going to try these. I’ll probably try a batch with coconut milk and a batch with water kefir since my kiddos are dairy free. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to share, Danielle! I hope you and your kiddos enjoy them! 🙂
Apples, cinnamon, cloves… these look PERFECT for fall! Especially on those warmer days when a popsicle still hits the spot.
Thanks, Corinne! 🙂
Oh my! I bet these do taste like apple pie! I’m on board with every single ingredient and I know my kids would adore these!
Thanks, Christina! They are such a wonderful treat for kiddos. 🙂
I love this idea! I’ve never thought to try a frozen version of apple pie.
You get desperate when you’re sweltering! Haha.
