I saw this pin on pinterest while I was glancing through my feed the other day. Since I had a little bit of down time when I took an over-tired, cold stricken, melt-down mode Cedi in the house a little before closing, I decided I would try making some special apple mugs for dinner that night.    I chose some large Cortland's because they aren’t suppose to brown when cutting them…if you look at the picture this doesn’t seem to be the case. 

I sliced just the top off the apple and then I used a melon-baller to hollow out the inside of the apple.  Just for fun, I sprinkled a little cinnamon into the apple before filling our ‘cups’ with our very own unpastuerized cider.  Even Jared thought this was sort of fun!  I have to say I’m super amazed that we didn’t have any spills.  The bottoms of the apples just aren't quite as flat as real cups…

PS>  I never actually clicked on the pinterest link to see how these are actually supposed to be made…maybe they have some tricks to getting them to look ‘prettier’…
