Homemade Slow Cooker Apple Cider Recipe
You will need:
8-10 apples (I prefer Gala for the earthier taste)
1/2 cup brown sugar
5 cinnamon sticks, or more if you prefer a stronger taste of cinnamon!
1 tablespoon whole cloves
1 whole allspice or 1 tsp powdered
10 cups of water
Directions:
Cut your apples into quarters.
Don’t bother removing the seeds; you will be straining them out later.
Place apples, spices, sugar, and water in the slow cooker and cook on low for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, use an immersion blender or a potato masher to mash the apples as much as possible.
Again, don’t worry about the floating apple pieces, as you will be straining it out.
Cook for another 1-3 hours or until the desired flavor has been reached.
I prefer the longer wait as the flavor comes out so much more.
Strain the liquids with a strainer covered with cheesecloth to remove any fine apple pieces.
Finally, place it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or you can freeze it to keep and use later.

Jennifer- I have been searching for an apple cider recipe just like this. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I cannot wait to try it.
I was wondering if you knew how long the cider keeps when frozen. I want to have it on hand when baking throughout the year.
Thanks again- Patricia
Hi Patricia, I had to google the answer but have seen people say it’s good for up to a year frozen. — http://community.cookinglight.com/showthread.php?122508-how-long-will-apple-cider-last https://fruitforum.wordpress.com/2009/12/19/how-long-will-frozen-apple-juice-keep/

Do you think it would still taste good without the added sugar?
Suggest you try it – you might like it this way.
This sounds delish! Could you can it instead of freezing it?
Good question but I have no knowledge of canning techniques
Thank you so much for this recipe! I have been looking for a simple homemade recipe so I can ditch the unhealthy fake powdered stuff but all the recipes I have found use apple cider from a jug and/or add a whole bunch of other ingredients. Apparently not many people know the difference between apple cider and mulled cider. I will be trying your recipe today in my Instant Pot. Thank you thank you thank you!
