You want your Apoapsis and Periapsis to be as close as possible to each other. This might take a few burns(especially if you're piloting it yourself). Basically you have 2 choices: burn prograde at Apoapsis to increase Periapsis, or burn retrograde at Periapsis to decrease Apoapsis. Which you do just depends on what altitude you want to end up at. Be very careful and use short burns at low throttle to do this, or use the maneuver(burn) node tool in the map view to plan it in advance and get it more precise

@Lemuria nice! It's sooo satisfying once you do it!
