Apple Pie-tini
Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers in the US (and Americans in general).
As a somewhat newly arrived Dane in the US, Thanksgiving is a Holiday we just have to pass to get to the December celebration. I have never been too fond of turkey. Well, I had a very good roasted turkey at a Thanksgiving celebration at my dorm in Denmark. We had an American exchange student (Andy) living there, and we all went all in on making a big Thanksgiving celebration with him. And as for most dinners with young people at a dorm, it turned in to a great Party. This party is still my fondest Thanksgiving memory.
I hope you all are enjoying the holiday.

1 apple, in slices sprinkled with lemon juice
2 cinnamon stick

lemon juice
baker's sugar (extra fine sugar)
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Dip the rim of the glasses in the sugar mixture, making sure to cover all of the rim.
