Notes

  • The apples you choose will affect the flavor of the hot apple cider.
  • The mulled cider can be cooked in the slow cooker for longer than eight hours if needed. Likewise you can simply let it turn to warm and keep simmering.
  • Cook the apple cider for four hours on high if you need it cooked sooner.
  • Store the slow cooker apple cider in mason jars in the fridge for up to a week. Either enjoy it cold or warm up on the stove.
  • The cider is not overly sweet. If you prefer a sweet cider recipe, add more maple syrup to the slow cooker or just your glass individually.
