One of my very favorite holiday drinks has always been hot apple cider. I just love the delicious smell of cinnamon and a steaming mug of hot mulled apple cider with the hint of spice and citrus is holiday perfection in a cup! This version is made in the Crock-Pot so you can cook it on low and forget about it. Meanwhile your cider will warm and make your house smell amazing!

I love buying big jugs of apple cider during the fall and winter season.
It is delicious cold or hot, on it’s own or with toppings.
Check out my Apple Cider Punch recipe.
For this recipe pour 1/2 gallon {2 liters} of apple cider in a large Crock-Pot.
Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar.
Add 4 cinnamon sticks along with the spices.
I use 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves.
You could also use whole allspice and cloves {1 tsp each} in a cheesecloth.
And then add 2 sliced oranges.
