Slow Cooker Mulled Apple Cider

My favorite time of the year is when the leaves are starting to change colors and pumpkins and all things pumpkin spice are popping up everywhere!  One of our favorite fall traditions is to head to our local cider mill and pumpkin patch to pick up some delicious apple cider. There is just something about that first gallon of apple cider right?  I decided to try out a mulled apple cider and I am so glad I did! Not only was this a delicious warm drink that we enjoyed but it made my home smell like fall all.day.long! 

ENJOY MULLED APPLE CIDER COLD OR HOT

My husband prefers his mulled apple cider hot while I prefer it chilled.  It either way you enjoy it it’s going to be a fall staple!  This delicious beverage slow cooks in your home for 3-4 hours, longer is okay if you are running errands.  Not only does this allow all the flavors to blend perfectly it makes your house smell AMAZING. It acts as a natural “Potpourri” if you will 🙂 

WHAT SPICES DO YOU USE TO MAKE MULLED APPLE CIDER?

We use four key spices in our mulled apple cider recipe that adds a delicious spice flavor without it being too overpowering. We top it off with a citrus flavor from the orange slices. 

• Orange- we use one and slice it thin
• Cinnamon Sticks- you can use anywhere from 3-5 sticks. We tend to use 3 but if you like yours with a bit more spice you can add all five. 
• Ground Nutmeg – just a touch as this spice can be pretty strong, if you don’t like nutmeg you can leave it out!
• Whole Cloves
• Whole Allspice
• Star Anise– while this spice is optional we do love to add a few on top as they look so pretty!

I had personally never tried a slow cooker mulled apple cider before I made this recipe.  I was a little hesitant since I love apple cider just the way it is but this really was a fun and different way to enjoy a fall favorite beverage.
