Winnie’s Slow Cookin’ Cider
 
Garnish with a handful of chopped green apple and a cinnamon stick for fun. You can serve this simple recipe hot or cold, but you can’t go wrong with cider.
Ingredients
  • 1 dozen apples in a variety of flavors
  • 2 large oranges
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 cinnamon sticks
  • 3 teaspoons whole cloves
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
Instructions
  1. Wash your apples thoroughly, then slice them before adding them to your slow cooker.
  2. Peel and quarter your oranges and lemon. Drop the pieces into the slow cooker with your apple slices.
  3. Add cinnamon sticks and cloves.
  4. Fill the cooker with water.
  5. Cover and cook on low all day or even overnight.
  6. Keep cooking until the apple slices are soft and tender.
  7. Mash the ingredients in the cooker, then continue to cook another 1 to 2 hours.
