AIP Friendly Apple Cinnamon Popsicles
These frozen treats are proof that eating clean doesn't mean giving up something sweet and satisfying. Fresh apples are simmered down with Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric until they're completely tender and fragrant, then blended smooth with rich full-fat coconut milk for a creamy, dreamy base that feels genuinely indulgent. Every single ingredient here — from the maple syrup to the squeeze of fresh lemon — fits neatly within autoimmune protocol guidelines, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or make substitutions. The warm spice blend gives each pop a cozy, almost apple-pie quality, which makes it especially satisfying when you're craving something nostalgic but need to stay on track. The recipe makes six popsicles, so you can prep a full batch on a Sunday and have a grab-and-go treat ready all week long. Just pour into molds, freeze overnight, and run a little warm water over the outside to release them cleanly — it's genuinely that simple.

6 servings
- 3 medium apples (about 1 ½ lbs), peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined maple syrup are accepted on the protocol; the ~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid maple syrup, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- 1
Combine the chopped apples, maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, and sea salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are completely tender and beginning to break down, about 12–15 minutes.
- 2
Remove the pan from the heat and let the apple mixture cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender, add the coconut milk, and blend on high until completely smooth, about 45–60 seconds.
