Notes

To achieve the perfect shake consistency, start with less milk and gradually add more until your desired thickness is reached. For a richer flavor, consider using high-quality apple pie and a full-fat vanilla ice cream. A pinch of nutmeg can enhance the 'pie' flavor and add depth. For an elegant presentation, chill your serving glasses beforehand and garnish with a swirl of fresh whipped cream and an extra dusting of cinnamon or even a tiny apple slice. Be mindful of the sweetness from the pie and yogurt when adjusting ingredients.
