Spiced Apple Cider

Looking for something a bit different to enjoy this holiday season I started playing with my spices looking to create a nice aromatic apple cider.

Using the flavors of fall is a favorite. I can never get enough of the warm spicy hints of cinnamon and cloves. A naturally great compliment to the apple. A few crushed allspice berries was added to round out the flavor.

You can makes this in a large pot on the stove or in a slow cooker.

This usually takes about 2 1/2 hours on high in the slow cooker or 20 minutes plus simmering when making it on the stove.

Enjoy!
