{Adorable Apple Cider}

I can't say I'm a humungous fan of apple cider.  But I surely would have six servings just to be able to drink it out of something as adorable as this!  A mug made out of an apple!  HOW ADORABLE!!!  Use this low-cal recipe from Better Homes and Gardens at your upcoming fall fiesta.
