Terri's Hot Apple Apple Cider
Ingredients:
1 gal. apple cider
1/2 c. Caramel
3 cinnamon sticks, plus more for garnish
8 apples
lemon juice, for brushing
Post Sober October: 1 1/2 c. whiskey, preferably Fireball (optional)

Instructions:

In a Crock-Pot, combine apple cider, cinnamon sticks and caramel. Cook on low until warmed through, about 2 to 3 hours.

To make apple cups: First you have to make sure before you buy your apples at the store set them on a flat surface tomake sure they will sit on the counter properly. You don't want your hot cider to tip if you set your apple cup down.

Next slice off the top of each apple. Use a melon scoop to remove the inside of the apple until you're about 1/2" or less from the bottom of the apple. Becareful you don't make a hole in your cup!

Preserve until it's party time by coating the inside of each apple with lemon juice to prevent apples from browning.

Ladle hot cider into apple cups. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, and serve immediately.
