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 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 it 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 to your glass individually.
- The recipe makes 9L, which can range from 20-30 servings depending on the size.
