ingredients
8 cup apple cider
1.5 cup brandy
2 tablespoons dried orange peel
1.5 tablespoons whole allspice
6 cinnamon sticks
2 tablespoons brown sugar
0.5 cup raisins
1 hearty apple (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith) roughly chopped
directions
Step 1: Mix the liquids
Add the apple cider and brandy to the slow-cooker and turn on medium.
Step 2: Prepare the apple
Roughly chop the apple into bite-sized pieces and add to the slow-cooker. The apple bits should float on top.
Step 3: Mix the rest of the ingredients into the slow-cooker and cover
Add the cinnamon sticks, dried orange peel, allspice, raisins and brown sugar to the slow-cooker and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Seal the slow-cooker with the lid and allow to cook on medium heat for 2 hours.
Step 4: Serve and garnish
Ladle cider into sugar-rimmed glasses or mugs and garnish with a small cinnamon stick. If you aren't going to serve right away or have leftover cider, you can store it in the refrigerator and reheat later. Note: This recipe can be made vegan, but not all brandy is vegan so you should check the label.
