Who’s in the mood for some Crockpot Spiced Apple Cider?!? It’s oh-so-tasty, will warm you to the toes, and is a holiday must-have!
What You’ll Need:
- 2 Quarts Apple Cider {I like Tree-Top Apple Cider}
- 1/4 cup packed Brown Sugar
- 1/8 tsp. ground Ginger
- 1 Orange ~ unpeeled, and cut into wedges
- 2 Cinnamon Sticks
- 1 tsp. Whole Cloves
- Small square of Cheesecloth
What You’ll Do:
- Tie up Cinnamon Sticks and Whole Cloves into Cheesecloth
- Add Apple Cider and all other ingredients into slow cooker.
- Cover and simmer on low.
- Cider will be ready in about 3 hours, but can continue simmering on low.
- Remove cheescloth bag and orange wedges, and serve! {recipe yields approx. 10 – 12 servings}
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated the next day.
- This is a must-have every Thanksgiving and Christmas in our home, but makes a perfect hot drink any time of year!
- Enjoy!!

Great recipe to serve during the holidays! Thanks for sharing.
Could you use regular apple juice instead of apple cider? How do you think that would turn out?
Whitney ~ I've honestly never tried this recipe with apple juice instead of apple cider.
I think the main difference would be that it would turn out with a more mild and less intense flavor.

Sounds wonderful! My husband loves hot cider!
My children would love this.
Thanks,

You know what else is really good? Warm cider with Buttershots added to it. Just don’t give it to the kids!
looks great except for the sugar. I’ll just leave that out …
ideas on how you would nicely present this at a casual party, please.
Can’t wait to try, thanks for sharing!
Can I leave the cinnamon sticks free-floating in the crockpot and stick the whole cloves into the organge wedges if I do not have cheesecloth?
If you don’t have cheesecloth on hand, you probably do have a coffee filter. Just wrap in the filter and tie. No need to run out to buy anything special.
Oooh my haaaannah! Love it!
Yes, you can leave the large pieces floating for a while, but the oranges will get bitter after TOO long. I use a stainless steel tea ball infuser for “small stuff” to replace cheesecloth.
