Ingredients
- 1 cup apple juice

- 1 package (3 oz) red jello mix
- 1/2 cup vodka (optional)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Candy apple sprinkles or edible glitter for garnish

Instructions
- Prepare the Jello: In a saucepan, bring the apple juice and water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the red jello mix until fully dissolved.
