Step 1
Pour the apple juice into a big saucepan with the aromatics and the sugar. Gently heat until the sugar has fully dissolved. Add the cider and calvados and bring to a low simmer; this is the perfect time to scoop out a few glasses to enjoy as a drink. -
Step 2
Peel and core the apples, then poach in the mulled cider for around 12-15 minutes. Serve with a splash of the mulling liquor and a big serving of ice cream or crème fraîche.
