Apple Cider Recipe

Now, let’s move on to my favorite part – the apple cider treat! This delightful drink is not only delicious but also beautifully presented in a hollowed-out apple. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients

+ 4 fresh apples +

+ 1/4 cup of caramel syrup or maple syrup +

+ 4 cinnamon sticks +

+ 4 whole cloves +

+ 1/4 cup of brown sugar +

+ 4 cups of apple cider +

+ Whipped cream (optional) +

Directions

Hollow the Apples: Cut the tops off the apples and carefully scoop out the insides to create a hollow space for the cider. Be sure not to puncture the sides or bottom of the apple.
Spice It Up: In a pot, warm the apple cider over low heat. Add cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and brown sugar. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Fill the Apples: Once your spiced cider is ready, pour it into the hollowed-out apples.

Serve with Style

Drizzle each apple with caramel syrup, add a cinnamon stick for garnish, and top with whipped cream if desired.
This apple cider treat is a showstopper and the perfect way to enjoy the rich flavors of fall. It’s a delightful apple cider recipe that will impress your guests and add a touch of warmth to your gatherings.
