These apple pie jello shots are a fun and delicious way to bring the comforting flavors of fall to any gathering. Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, they are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 2 packets unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup spiced rum
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
  • Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 cups of apple cider into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until warm, not boiling.
  2. Sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin over the warm cider and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to bloom.
  3. Whisk the mixture continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of spiced rum, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  6. Slowly pour the slightly cooled gelatin mixture into the bowl with the rum mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  7. Pour the mixture into shot glasses or small cups, filling them about 3/4 full to leave room for the whipped topping.
  8. Transfer the filled cups to the refrigerator and let them set for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
  9. Once the jello shots are set, top each one with a dollop of whipped topping using a spoon or piping bag.
  10. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the whipped topping for garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
