Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn hold their shape well in the slow cooker and provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the cider and wine.
  • Don't peel the apples. The skins add color and flavor to the cider.
  • Use a good quality red wine. A dry red wine with a medium body, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will work well in this recipe.
  • Add spices to taste. The recipe calls for cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice, but you can also add other spices that you like, such as nutmeg or ginger.
  • Let the cider simmer for at least 4 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the cider warm. You can garnish it with a cinnamon stick or a slice of apple.

Conclusion:

This spiced red wine apple cider is a delicious and easy-to-make fall drink. It's perfect for sipping on a cold night or serving at a holiday party. The slow cooker does all the work, so you can relax and enjoy the cider without having to worry about it.
