Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
1 package (3 oz.) Jell-O™ cherry
1 1/2 cups cinnamon schnapps or Fireball™ whiskey
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (or 5 teaspoons)
12 mint leaves
1 metal apple-shaped or heart-shaped mini cookie cutter (or fondant cutter)

Instructions

Step
1

Pour water into a medium-sized sauce pan. Add cherry-flavored gelatin and stir until combined. Sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin on top. Let sit for a minute or so to let the gelatin activate. Turn on medium heat and whisk to combine.
Step
2

When gelatin is dissolved and water is slightly steaming (not boiling), remove from heat.
Step
3

Add 1.5 cups cinnamon schnapps or Fireball™ whiskey and pour into a lightly greased 9x13-inch pan. Place in the refrigerator 3 hours or until completely firm.
Step
4

When completely set, use an apple-shaped cookie or fondant cutter to cut out 24 apples. If using a heart-shaped cookie or fondant cutter, gently squeeze the cutter and mold it to look more like the fruit than a heart. Gently lift out each apple with your hands or a mini spatula (carefully, so you don’t break the gelatin).
Step
5

Slice your mint leaves into smaller leaves so they look like stems. Arrange on top of apples and refrigerate until time to serve.
