Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, they’re as cute as they are delicious!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups apple cider (not apple cider vinegar!)
• 2 envelopes (.25 ounces each) unflavored gelatin
• 1 1/2 cups apple whiskey, chilled
• Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
• Cinnamon, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Set Up the Jello Shot Cups
   Arrange your plastic jello shot cups on a sheet pan without the lids. This makes it easier to transfer them to the fridge later. Set aside.
2. Make the Gelatin Mixture
   In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil. Once boiling, sprinkle the two envelopes of unflavored gelatin over the cider and stir continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This will give your jello shots their firm, jiggly texture.
3. Cool the Mixture and Add the Whiskey
   Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes. This step is important to prevent the alcohol from evaporating. After the mixture has cooled, stir in the chilled apple whiskey until everything is well combined.
4. Fill the Jello Shot Cups
   Carefully pour the gelatin-apple whiskey mixture into the plastic cups. Be sure not to overfill the cups, leaving a little room at the top for the optional whipped cream and cinnamon topping.
5. Chill the Jello Shots
   Place the sheet pan with the filled cups into the refrigerator and let the jello shots chill for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely set.
6. Serve with Optional Toppings
   Once the jello shots are set, you can place lids on the cups for storage until you’re ready to serve. For an extra festive touch, top each jello shot with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon just before serving.

Cooking Tips:

• Make sure to let the gelatin mixture cool before adding the whiskey to ensure the alcohol remains potent.
• If you want to amp up the apple pie flavor, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the gelatin mixture before chilling.
• You can substitute the apple whiskey with spiced rum or bourbon for a different flavor profile.
