Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Produce

  • 4 cups mixed fresh apples, sliced (use a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 lemon slices

Spices & Flavorings (natural)

  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Liquids & Sweeteners

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 6 cups water

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and slice the apples and lemons. Measure out pumpkin puree and spices so everything is ready to use.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add apple slices, pumpkin puree, cinnamon sticks, ground cloves, nutmeg, lemon slices, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and water directly into the slow cooker pot.
  3. Set and Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and spices to infuse fully.
  4. Strain and Serve: After cooking, strain the cider to remove solids for a smooth drink. Serve warm in mugs and enjoy the comforting flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples and quality pumpkin puree for the best flavor.
  • Cook on low heat to release the spices’ aroma without bitterness.
  • Taste before serving and adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if desired.
  • Whole spices provide a milder flavor, while ground spices give a stronger taste; adjust according to preference.
  • Straining is optional: skip for a rustic, cloudier cider, or reserve some solids for garnish.
