Recipe: Winter Spiced Cider

One of my favorite winter drinks is Hot Spiced Cider! But this is the firs time I tried making it myself.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 Quarts of Apple Cider
• 2 Quarts of Apple juice
• 1 Orange, quartered
• 1 tea spoon whole Cloves
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 2 teaspoons of ground Cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons All Spice
• 1 teaspoon Apple Pie Spice
• a pinch of Nutmeg
• 1 Granny Smith Apple
• 1 Yellow Delicious Apple
• 1 Honeycrisp Apple

Step 1: Mix Apple Cider and Apple Juice into slow cooker, leaving about 1 1/2 inches from the top. Turn on to high.

Step 2: Take the Granny Smith and Yellow Delicious and slice thinly on a mandolin slicer. Then finely chop the honeycrisp apple and add in.

Step 3: Cut orange into quarters. Then using a toothpick, punch holes into the peel. Then stick the cloves into the holes. Then add in.

Step 4: Then add in the sugar and spices, making sure to mix everything.

Step 5: Cook on high for 4-5 hours or until hot. If you cook it longer, the apples will melt into the mixture giving it more flavor.

Hope you Enjoy!
