apple cider cups

I saw this on another blog and loved the idea drinking apple cider out of your own homemade apple cups. 

Yeah you read that right.... apple cups. They look as if they would be a lot of work to do, but I promise it is much simpler than it seems. The only things you need are some apples, a knife and a spoon. Doesn't seem too bad, right?

It Only takes two steps. 
Step One: On a cutting board or sturdy surface, use a knife to cut off the top of the apple.  Then take a paring knife and carefully outline where you’d like the “rim” of your apple cup to be.  (My rims were about 1/4″ wide.)  Use a spoon to carefully begin scooping out the center of your apple until you have a nice “cup”. 

 

Step Two: Once you have the inside of the apples hollowed out, brush a little lemon juice over the inside of the apples (it stops them from getting that mucky-brown-look).  Then fill with your favorite apple cider, garnish with cinnamon or spices if you’d like, and serve.
