Mom’s Slow Cooker Spiked Apple Cider

  • 1 gallon apple cider
  • 2 oranges sliced
  • 5 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 star anise pods optional
  • 1 tablespoon whole cloves
  • 2 cups brandy or bottle of brandy
  1. After slicing the oranges, make small holes in the rinds with the tip of a knife and insert the cloves in them so they don’t float free in the cider.
  2. In a 6 quart slow cooker, combine the cider, oranges, cinnamon stocks, star anise pods, and cloves. Cook on low for 4 hours.
  3. Just before serving add the brandy or serve with bottle of brandy on the side.
