How to Make Hot Spiced Apple Cider In A Crock Pot
- Pour 6 cups of apple cider into your crock-pot.
- Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Stud 1 orange (cut into wedges) and 2 medium apples (cored and quartered) with 10 whole cloves.
- Place the prepared apples, orange wedges, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves into a cheesecloth bag. Tie securely with kitchen twine and submerge in the crock-pot.
- Turn the crock-pot to high and bring the cider to a simmer (about 2-3 hours).
- Once simmering, reduce the setting to low.
- Continue to simmer on low for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours, for maximum flavor infusion. Stir occasionally.
- Add more apple cider as needed to maintain desired liquid level.
- If cider is cold, increase setting to high until heated through.
- Serve warm directly from the crock-pot, or ladle into mugs. Garnish with apple slices or cinnamon sticks (optional).
- For an adult twist, offer a bottle of spiced rum alongside for guests to add to their liking.
