Ingredients
- 3 ⅓ cups fresh apple cider
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 medium apple optional for adding to popsicles
- Caramel sauce or melted chocolate/white chocolate optional for drizzle
- Toffee pieces, crushed pecans, sprinkles, etc. optional for topping
Instructions
- If you want a slice of apple in every popsicle, thinly slice apple into ⅛" slices. Toss with 1 teaspoon lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a small bowl, mix ground cinnamon and ginger with 1-2 tablespoon of hot water. This will prevent the spices from clumping in your cold cider.
- In a large pitcher, bowl, or measuring cup, stir together apple cider, cinnamon and ginger mixture, and remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
- If using apple slices, place 1–2 slices into each popsicle mold cavity, pressing slice gently against the side of the mold so it will be visible when pops are frozen.
- Pour cider mixture into each cavity, filling almost to the top, but leaving about ⅛" as liquid will expand when frozen.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight, until solid.
- Gently remove popsicles from mold. If it's difficult to do so, run a little warm water over the molds while you gently jiggle the stick to remove the popsicle.
- If desired, you can drizzle frozen popsicles with caramel sauce or melted chocolate* and top with toffee pieces, crushed pecans (or nuts of your choice), sprinkles, or any other toppings.
- Store popsicles in freezer in a airtight container or large Ziplock bag. For best results, wrap popsicles individually in plastic wrappers, plastic wrap, or wax paper. They should keep fresh for about a month.
Notes
- If melted chocolate isn't sticking to popsicles, I recommend mixing it with 1 tablespoon coconut oil or 1 tablespoon heavy cream before drizzling.
