You have to try this homemade apple cider! 🍎 Slow Cooker Apple Cider Ingredients: 8-10 apples (4-5 Honeycrisp or Fuji, 3 Granny Smith, 2 Gala or Pink Lady) 1 orange, peeled 4 cinnamon sticks 5 whole cloves 4 whole allspice berries (or ½ tsp ground allspice) ½ tsp ground ginger (or 3 thin slices fresh ginger) ¼ tsp nutmeg 8-10 cups water (enough to just cover) Up to 1 cup brown sugar or maple syrup, to taste Instructions: 1. Prep: Slice the apples, removing the cores and seeds, and add them to your slow cooker. Peel and slice the orange, removing as much of the white pith as possible. 2. Add the spices: Toss in the cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg. Pour in enough water to just cover everything. 3. Slow cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours. Lightly mash the apples, give everything a stir, then switch to HIGH for another 3 hours. 4. Mash & strain: Mash the softened apples to release all that flavor and juice. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or pot. 5. Sweeten & season: Stir in brown sugar or maple syrup to taste. Add a little extra cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice if you want a stronger spice flavor. 6. Enjoy! Serve warm or chill in the fridge for a refreshing glass of homemade cider!
