How to Make Slow Cooker Hot Caramel Apple Cider

  1. Core and thinly slice 4-6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp).
  2. In a slow cooker, combine the apple slices, 6 cups of apple cider, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the apples are tender and the cider is fragrant.
  5. Before serving, gently stir the mixture to redistribute the apples.
  6. Ladle the hot apple cider into mugs. Drizzle each mug with 1-2 teaspoons of Smucker's caramel ice cream topping, or to taste.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
