Core apple and cut into small chunks. Cut orange and lemon into thin slices to create wheels, and discard ends. Put fruit into a 2.5-quart pitcher.
Pour apple cider, ginger ale, whiskey, and lemon juice into the pitcher. Use a bar spoon or long wooden spoon to stir everything together.
Refrigerate the punch for at least 1 hour to let the flavors marry together.
Pour punch into glasses and spoon some apples and a fruit slice into each glass. During the fall and winter months, I add a cinnamon stick for garnish too.
