Slow cooker apple cider is a must make for those cool fall days! Easy, homemade, warm and delicious. Not to mention the aroma that lingers in your home. Oh, so fall fabulous! Fresh apples, orange, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and brown sugar make this cider irresistible. Perfect for parties, just keep it warm in the slow cooker and let everyone serve themselves a cup garnished with a cinnamon stick or orange slices.

Slow Cooker Apple Cider

Wash the apples and orange thoroughly. Slice into quarters and place the crock of the slow cooker.

Toss in the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, dark brown sugar and water. Set to high for 4 hours (or low for 6). This is the kind of recipe where I use my small pieces of nutmeg. You know the pieces that if you keep trying to grate them you’re going to take a fingertip off.

After 4 hours mash the apples and orange with a potato masher.  Return the lid and cook on high another hour.

Strain the solids from the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve, discard solids.

Wrap yourself in a cozy blanket and pour yourself a cup of this comforting warm slow cooker apple cider.

Or make this for a party or family gathering, leave in the slow cooker and just keep it warm for everyone to enjoy.
