Ingredients to Make These Apple Delights
Gather ’round, my friends, because here’s what you’ll need to create these boozy beauties:
- 6 medium-sized crisp apples (Fuji or Granny Smith work great!)
- 1 cup dark rum (because, why not?)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions to Create Your Boozy Masterpiece
Now that we’ve got our ingredients, let’s get down to business! Follow these steps, and you’ll be ready to impress friends, family, or yourself!
- First, wash your apples—let’s keep this wholesome by starting with clean fruit!
- Remove the stems and insert wooden skewers into the top of each apple. It’s like giving them a little hat!
- In a saucepan, combine the dark rum, brown sugar, apple juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
- Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir it like you mean it, ‘cause we want it to dissolve nicely!
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This is where the flavors will party together!
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Next, dip each apple into your delicious concoction, making sure they’re fully coated. Set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- For the pièce de résistance, drizzle some more of that syrupy goodness over the top of each apple.
- If you want to take it up a notch, pop them in the fridge for an hour to let the flavors deepen and chill out!
- Finally, serve them with a dollop of whipped cream on the side for extra decadence!
And voila! You have transformed humble apples into a glorious, drunken treat that’s bound to steal the show at any gathering. So, go on—make these Drunken Rum Apples and let the good times roll! Cheers to sweet, boozy adventures!
