Oh, goodness, I do love apple cider. It’s just so…fallish. And winterish. And when you make it on the stove it makes your entire house smell HEAVENLY, it really does.
In a house where people still argue with me over showering and try to re-wear dirty clothes, good smells are not taken for granted.
So this apple cider recipe — make it up and drink it all at once, or you can store it in a pitcher (I’d leave the cinnamon sticks and oranges and cloves in it and let them soak in) and reheat when you want. Either way, it’s quite delicious. And just in time — it’s snowing in the mountains here and probably not long before the snow makes its way down here to my house. Time to batten down the hatches, stock up on cider ingredients, and pull out the fuzzy socks.
Stovetop Spiced Apple Cider
Ingredients
- 2 liters apple juice
- 1/2 c brown sugar
- 1 Tb whole cloves
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1 orange, sliced with peel on
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in stockpot.
- Stir over medium-low heat.
- If you’re in a rush, you can just heat through but if you have time, heat for 30 min to let the spices really get in there. You can also bind the spices up in a cheesecloth. I, however, have never in my life owned a piece of cheesecloth, so I just pour the cider through a tea strainer before serving.

By the way, I was reading about you in your sidebar and noticed your kids are all 10 and under. My 5 kids are all 10 and under, too, though my son will turn 11 in December. Also, I’m a runner. Not a great or fast runner, but I love it anyway.
I’d love if you stopped by my blog. I’m doing a series on learning printables.
oh, I’m not a great or fast runner, either! Mostly I run because it’s the only time in my day when I’m alone…
Nothing says Fall quite like apple cider! Your recipe is going on my “to make” list!
