Ingredients

1 Cinnamon stick gotta get that warm, woody backbone to your cider
1 teaspoon Whole cloves these little guys bring a sharp, spicy pop that wakes up the taste buds
1 teaspoon Whole allspice rounds out the flavor with a bit of sweet peppery depth
½ cup Brown sugar adds the perfect touch of molasses-y sweetness that melts into the heat
2 quarts Apple cider or juice choose a good fresh cider or your fave apple juice works too
1 Red apple for garnish, optional but looks pretty and adds fresh crisp scent
Spice bag or cheesecloth to keep those spices contained but soaking

Instructions

Place the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and whole allspice into a spice bag or cheesecloth and tie it securely so no bits slip into the cider.
Pour the apple cider or juice into the crockpot, give it a good base to soak up those spices.
Add the spice bag and brown sugar into the crockpot, then stir gently to combine everything real good.
Cover and set the crockpot to low. Let it cook for 2 to 3 hours which is plenty of time for flavors to blend and come out strong.
Just before you plan to serve, remove the spice bag so no surprises bite in your cup later.
Ladle the hot apple cider into mugs, careful cause that steam hiss is a sign it’s good and hot. Garnish with slices of red apple if you want that touch of color and just a little fresh crispness to balance the warm sweet.

Notes

Serve warm and enjoy the cozy flavors. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated gently.
