ingredients

  • 8 cup apple cider
  • 1-1/2 cup brandy
  • 2 tablespoons dried orange peel
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons whole allspice
  • 6 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 hearty apple, (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith) roughly chopped
  • extra brown sugar or sugar in the raw, (for rimming the glasses)
  • small cinnamon stick, (to garnish each glass)

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.
