Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bottles of apple juice (64-ounces each)
- 1 orange
- 1 apple
- 6 cinnamon sticks
- whole cloves
Instructions
- Chop both the apple and orange into chunks.
- Stick whole cloves into the orange pieces (orange rind is much easier to pierce than apple skin). Use 2 to 3 whole cloves per orange slice.
- Add the apple juice to your slow cooker, leaving space to add the oranges, apples, and cinnamon sticks.
- Finally, add chopped apple, orange with cloves, and cinnamon sticks.
- Set your slow cooker to ‘low’ and simmer for several hours (2 to 3 hours), stirring occasionally. Your house will start to smell amazing! And you can serve it as soon as the cider is hot, of course, the longer you let it simmer – the more flavorful it will be.
- After 2-3 hours, move to the ‘warm’ setting.
- Use a ladle to pour the cider into glass mugs or insulated paper cups.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Depending on the size of your slow cooker, you can add a little bit more or less apple juice than the 128 ounces. Adding more? Add a few more cinnamon sticks as well.
- For an easy way to store leftover apple cider – keep one of the empty apple juice bottles. You can easily add the extra cider and keep it in the fridge.
- As noted in the ingredients section, adding chopped fruit to the cider will create a little pulp in your cider. If you want to avoid this – just use whole cuties instead (still with cloves) and forgo the chopped apples.
