It's that time of year again when almost everything is cooked in my crockpot! I'm not talking just dinners, but drinks too like this crockpot hot apple cider! We love to bake and create yummy creations during the Fall and Winter and this recipe is perfect for that time of year. Love this crockpot recipes drink!

If you're looking for something to serve on Christmas morning, a holiday party, or just when people come over in the evening this is a great, this drink is great.

We normally make our chilled sparkling apple cider but when it's snowy outside this is way better.

Let's talk a little bit about slow cooking shall we?? First off I have a few different varieties and I love them all. Each one has an occasion to be used like….

1. This is my favorite 6 quart programmable one with a locking lid so it's great for bringing to a potluck too.
2. If you just want to serve a few appetizers you should get this one that sit side by side one another.
3. I prefer not to use liners, but rather just spray olive oil inside before adding my food for easier cleanups.

Let me give you a peek of my pretty thang I bought recently. It goes with my kitchen so I can just leave it out on the countertop all the time. 😉

Crockpot Apple Cider

It's a super easy slow cooker recipe that stays warm and tasty for hours on end.

That means that everyone in the family can enjoy it for Christmas brunch or Thanksgiving Day.

Literally all you need is what you see here. Of course you could make an adult beverage out of this drink too, but this is perfect for the whole family.

What alcohol is good with apple cider?

1. Rye whiskey gives homemade apple cider a nice, slow and spicy burn
2. Rum
3. A blonde beer
4. Tequila
5. Scotch is sometimes a favorite
6. Sparkling wine can give it some fun bubbles
7. Bourbon is what I think of when I spike cider

And here it is when it is done.

Slow cooker apple cider

1. Apple cider
   1. apple juice is an alternative but not as good
2. Orange
3. Whole cloves work best
   1. if you must use ground cloves just sprinkle in a few
4. Brown sugar and cinnamon sticks

If you'd rather use a spice bag vs. the orange and cloves, make them this way:

• Cut a 6″ (or so) square piece of cheese cloth
• Put 2 dehydrated orange slices inside
• Break a cinnamon stick in half and put that inside
• Include 3 pieces of dried ginger
• 3 whole cloves
• 2 pieces of whole nutmeg

I am telling you the house smells amazing when this is cooking! There is nothing like warm homemade apple cider during the holidays.

How do you serve apple cider?

1. Pour it into cute mugs
2. Add a cinnamon stick for stirring into the cup
3. Sprinkle in a bit of fresh orange zest
4. Put a fresh slice of orange on the edge of the mug
5. Add a cute chai tea bag inside
6. Complete it with a swirl of whipped cream
7. Swirl in some liquid or caramel sundae syrup

What can I add to hot cider?

1. 5-Spice you can sometimes find in specialty stores, or make your own to add into hot cider.
2. A whole chili is great to float in your hot cider if you want to add a layer of warmth. Just remember the longer it stays in the hotter it will get
3. Citrus is great to complement the acidity of the apples. We added an orange but you could add a slice of lemon too.
4. Booze of course
5. A spoonful of maple syrup is yummy

The same goes when you make hot chocolate from scratch.

What are you waiting for??!! Grab your favorite Crock pot and cook on high if you're in a hurry. I prefer slow and low all day but if you must you could do it quickly in 2-3 hours.

• Make some crinkle cookies and throw a holiday party soon y'all.
• Want to make Instant Pot apple cider quickly?? We have instructions for that too.
• Our hot cocoa bombs with marshmallows are a fun treat.
