•   2 1/2 cups coconut water
•   1 medium red apple (cubed, skin on for color and fiber)
•   1 tsp ground cinnamon
•   1/2 lime (juiced, or lemon)

Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender: 2½ cups coconut water (can substitute filtered water or decaf green tea, but coconut water is best for natural electrolytes), 1 medium red apple (cubed, skin on for color and fiber), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, juice of ½ lime or lemon, ¼–½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
2. Blend on high speed for 20-30 seconds until completely smooth and the mixture is a **rich, opaque warm cinnamon-brown** color with visible specks of cinnamon throughout.
3. For a smoother drink, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any apple pulp (optional).
4. Pour over two glasses filled with ice.
5. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and thin apple slices fanning out on the rim.
6. Enjoy immediately—it’s like apple pie in a glass!
