Instructions
Place mulling spices in a double layer of cheesecloth and bring up the sides to form a 'bag', tie closed with a string (*see note).
Add the apple juice, brown sugar, and mulling spices to your crockpot or slow cooker. Stir until brown sugar dissolves.
Lay apple and orange slices on top of the cider and replace the lid of your crockpot.
Cook on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1 ½ hours. Garnish with sliced fruit or cinnamon sticks, if desired, and serve while warm.
Notes
Sliced lemons and/or cranberries make a lovely addition to this cider.
In place of making a cheesecloth bag for the mulling spices, you may remove the large pieces of spices with a slotted spoon or strainer after cooking.
This recipe yields about ½ a gallon of mulled apple cider.
Add your favorite bourbon or whiskey for a delicious spiked adult beverage!
To store: Extra apple cider can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. Remove the fruit and skim off any foam that has accumulated on the top. Pour the cider into a plastic pitcher with a lid or a glass bottle with a lid and refrigerate.
