Don't you just love the smell of Fall?? Cinnamon, Pumpkin, Nutmeg, and Apple Pie just fill the air. One of my favorite drinks when the weather starts to turn is Apple Cider. I like to spruce mine up a little bit though, so I thought I would share my recipe with you. I made this yesterday and my house smelled so good all day!
Here is all you will need:
Apple Cider (you can choose your favorite brand. I used Musselman's)
2 Large Oranges
1 Bag of cranberries
Red Hot Candies (2 cups)
In a crock pot, pour in the apple cider. Slice the oranges and drop the slices into the crock pot. Add the entire bag of cranberries and 2 cups of red hot candies into the mix. Let it simmer on Low for a few hours. You can add more or less of the red hots, depending on how spicy you want your cider. I like spice, so I actually added an extra cup.
My daughter had a blast just being able to drop in the orange slices and pour in the cranberries and red hots. They all sort of float and bounce around on the top, so to a five year old, that was way cool!!
The red hots will eventually dissolve, and I just strained the cider back into the container after I drank my two glasses. I let it cool then put it back in the fridge to drink throughout the week.
I hope you enjoy the flavor and the smell in your home!
