Äppler is a colloquial term for Apfelwein, a type of apple wine that is popular in the German state of Hesse, particularly around Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region. Äppler is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from apples, similar to cider, but it is usually more tart and less sweet. It is an integral part of Hessian culture and is often enjoyed in traditional apple wine taverns (Apfelweinwirtschaften), served in ribbed glasses or from the iconic blue-grey ceramic jug known as a Bembel.
