CROCK POT SPICED APPLE CIDER
Have this ready in time and just leave it in your crock pot on the low setting to serve to your guests. This amount is for my 3 liter/quart pot and is easy to adapt for a larger pot. I like to use white sugar but brown can be used if you prefer a darker color. You can add rum or vodka to each serving for a kicked up version.

Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- 1. Wash apples to remove any dirt/chemicals etc. Cut apples into 4 parts (original recipe said that you can keep seeds in it and others say to remove, you can decide which you prefer). Put into crock pot. Add spices and cover apples with water, do not have to be completely submerged as apples will cook down. Mix everything around to blend ingredients. Cook for 8-10 hours on low for stronger flavor, stirring it occasionally. Or you can cook it on high for 4-5 hours stirring it every hour. Mash with potato masher. Strain out cider. Now this is where you have options. I have heard everything from straining it through a cotton pillowcase, straining it through a colander a couple times, or even a mesh strainer. One author said they liked the bits of apple in their cider another said they wanted it all removed. So strain to your preference. Bottle.
- 2. Now as for the spices in the ingredient list I have found cider recipes cooked with honey, oranges and lemons so you can add those too if you wish. I plan to add some citrus honey to mine. As for the Hard Cider you can add rum if you like, or you can put it in a demijohn with some beer yeast and let ferment for about a month for one batch and two weeks for another for a weaker alcohol content.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For the best flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Honeycrisp, Gala, and Braeburn.
- Don't peel the apples: The skin of the apples adds flavor and nutrients to the cider.
- Use fresh spices: Whole spices, such as cinnamon sticks, cloves, and nutmeg, will give the cider a more intense flavor than ground spices.
- Simmer the cider: Simmering the cider over low heat will help to extract the flavors from the apples and spices.
- Add a sweetener: If you like your cider sweet, add a little honey, maple syrup, or sugar to taste.
- Serve the cider warm or cold: Apple cider is delicious served warm on a cold day or chilled on a hot day.
Conclusion:
This Crock-Pot Apple Cider is the perfect fall drink for any occasion. With its warm, inviting aroma and delicious flavor, it's sure to please everyone. So gather your ingredients, plug in your slow cooker, and enjoy the taste of the season!
