Line a baking sheet with freezer paper. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the apple, sugar, and cinnamon and blend well. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sugar just starts to caramelize. Remove the pan from the heat and place it on a cooling rack. When the apple mixture is cool, transfer it to the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour or more.
When you are ready to make the smoothie, place the apple juice, optional honey, apple mixture, and ice cream in a blender and mix by using the on/off pulse function until the ingredients are mostly blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a Cinnamon and Sugar Twist (see Great Garnishes) or top with Pastry Crunch (see Sinful Sauces and Toppings), if desired.
