This year, make Halloween a whole lot sweeter by conjuring up our Shrunk’in Head Apple Punch. This frightful and delightful recipe gives new meaning to the word headhunter! 

Shrunk’in Head Apple Punch

Serves 18

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 bottle Sutter Home Sweet Riesling
  • ¾ gallon Apple Cider
  • 6 small apples, peeled
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 3 whole anise stars

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 250°F.
  2. Using a melon baller and a sharp paring knife, carve little faces into each apple half. Try to mix up the design of the faces to get unique shapes! Then, cut each apple in half. 
  3. Place the carved apples on a baking sheet and bake for about 4 hours, until apples have shrunken and shriveled significantly. Allow to cool for about 1 hour.
  4. Heat Sutter Home Sweet Riesling and apple cider in a large pot on medium-high heat. Once steaming, add the cinnamon sticks and star anise pods and remove from the heat to steep the spices until ready to serve.
  5. Place the spiced apple cider into a large serving bowl or punch bowl, then float the shrunken head apples on top and serve. Cider can be enjoyed warm or cold.
