Slow Cooker Apple Cider

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

Toss the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, dark brown sugar, and 12 cups of water in the crock pot. You could make a spice bag if you wish but it will all be strained later anyway.

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.

If you are in the market for a new slow cooker we just purchased this one and am loving it so far!
