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!
