How to Make Apple Pie Potpourri Non Food

  1. Gather 3 cups of apple peels from your favorite apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, etc. work well).
  2. In a small slow cooker or crock-pot, combine the apple peels, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Add 2 cups of water to the slow cooker.
  4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, checking the water level periodically and adding more as needed to prevent burning. The longer it simmers, the stronger the scent will be!
  5. Once finished, let the potpourri cool completely. Strain out the apple peels (you can compost them!).
  6. Transfer the fragrant liquid to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator. To enjoy the scent again, simply reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
