Bakeapple Compound Butter: In a small bowl, stir 1 Tbsp room-temperature butter, preferably lightly salted, with 1 tsp bakeapple or apple jelly. Mound on top of plastic wrap and roll into a small log. Wrap and refrigerate until chilled. Compound butter will keep, sealed and refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks. Makes 4 tsp.
Set out 6 warmed heatproof mugs or Irish coffee glasses. Pour 2 oz screech into each mug. If using compound butter, omit honey. If using regular butter, spoon 1⁄2 tsp honey into each mug. Pour 2⁄3 cup warm cider into each mug. Thinly slice compound or regular butter. Top each drink with a little butter. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, if you like.
