How to Make Jello Shots Caramel Apple

  1. Core and carefully hollow out 6-8 medium-sized apples. Use a melon baller or small spoon to create a cavity without piercing the bottom.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of apple juice, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup butterscotch schnapps (or caramel vodka for adults, or omit and substitute with 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons caramel sauce for a kid-friendly version).
  3. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 (3 ounce) package of Jello (any flavor, but caramel or apple cider are great choices).
  5. Pour the Jello mixture into the hollowed-out apples, filling them almost to the top.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello is fully set.
  7. Once set, slice the apples into wedges and arrange them on a platter for serving. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce (optional).
  8. Enjoy responsibly!
