Instructions
- Pour fresh cider into ice cube trays and freeze until solid, preferably overnight.

Notes
Flavor variation: Replace some of the chilled cider with cranberry juice for a tart cranberry-apple slush. One standard ice cube tray holds roughly one cup of liquid.
Make ahead: Keep frozen cider cubes in a labeled freezer bag so you can make a slush whenever the mood strikes.
