Equipment

  • Melon Baller
  • Measuring Cups
  • Muffin Pan

Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized Granny Smith Apples
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, optional
  • ⅓ cup caramel vodka
  • ⅓ cup apple brandy
  • ⅓ cup caramel sauce
  • 2 packages unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup mulled apple cider (or apple juice)

Instructions

  • Cut the apples in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller or sharp spoon, carefully remove the inside of the fruit, leaving only a small amount attached to the skin of the apple. This will create a cup for the jello shots!
  • If desired, brush each apple half with lemon juice to prevent browning. (This isn’t totally necessary, but it makes for wonderful presentation.)
  • Settle the apple halves into a muffin tin, ensuring they are even and won’t tip. Set aside.
  • Pour ⅓ cup caramel vodka and ⅓ cup apple brandy into a large measuring cup and sprinkle 2 packages of unflavored gelatin over the top. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow gelatin to “bloom.”
  • While the gelatin blooms, warm the caramel sauce in the microwave until smooth and melty. At the same time, warm the mulled apple cider in a microwave safe cup or on the stove.
  • Pour the hot caramel sauce and apple cider over the bloomed gelatin and stir until gelatin is dissolved, about two or three minutes.
  • Pour the jello mixture through a fine mesh sieve and into the apple cups (This amount is usually perfect for 3 medium-sized apples, but you may have extra depending on the size of your fruit. Pour excess into a lightly greased baking pan or jello shot cups).
  • Refrigerate the caramel apple jello shots for at least 4 hours, or overnight. To serve, slice the apples into wedges.
  • Enjoy responsibly.
