Appletinis Recipe

• 1/2 green apple such as granny smith, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
• 1 1/2 ounces vodka
• 1 1/2 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 ounce cinnamon simple syrup (recipe follows)
• Ice
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1. Place water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently. When sugar has dissolved, add cinnamon stick and ground cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring, then reduce heat to a low simmer and let cook for five minutes.
2. Put apple, lemon juice, vodka, and simple syrup in a food processor and pulse until smoothly pureed, about twenty pulses. Pour apple mixture into a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice. Shake for ten seconds. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a thin slice of apple, if desired.
