These are gelatin-based treats infused with the flavor of green apple, derived primarily from apple-flavored liqueur. Preparation typically involves combining the liqueur with gelatin powder, water, and potentially other ingredients to create a solidified, flavored dessert. For example, a recipe might call for apple liqueur, vodka, gelatin, and boiling water to create individual servings.
The appeal of these treats lies in their dual nature as both a flavored dessert and an alcoholic beverage, providing a playful and palatable option for social gatherings. Their historical context is rooted in the broader trend of flavored gelatin desserts and the increasing popularity of novelty alcoholic concoctions. They offer a convenient and visually appealing way to serve and consume alcohol in a party setting.
