Ingredients

large apples

lemon juice

apple cider

cinnamon sticks

whole cloves

allspice,and/or star anise for garnish

Preparation

On a cutting board or sturdy surface, cut off the top of the apple.

Take a paring knife, then carefully outline the “rim” of the apple cup.

Use a spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the center of the apple to form a “cup”.

If the apple doesn’t sit exactly level, slice off a few millimeters off the bottom to make it even.

Brush a little lemon juice over the inside of the apples to prevent browning.

Fill the apple cups with apple cider, then garnish with cinnamon, cloves, and allspice.

Serve, and enjoy!
