Damn Good Crock Pot Fall Cider #christmasdrink #drinkrecipes

Fall is here and there’s a little bit of a chill in the air. It’s my favorite time of the year for many reasons. One big reason is it’s hoody weather and I love a warm, oversized hoody! Another major reason, and I am sure many of you already guessed it, is food. I love comfort foods and it seems like fall is the perfect time to enjoy them.

This isn’t your momma’s apple cider, this cider is full of all my favorite fall flavors like apples, oranges, pears and cinnamon and is the perfect drink to usher in fall.

Ingredients:

• 8 cups of water
• 4 honeycrisp apples
• 1 pear ( I used a Bartlett pear)
• 1 orange, sliced
• 4 cinnamon sticks
• 2 tbsp mulling spices
• 1/4 pomegranate seeds

Instructions:

1. Core and slice the apples into quarters
2. Slice the orange into thin slices
3. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of your Crock-Pot slow cooker
4. Cook on low for 8 hours
5. After 8 hours scoop the fruit, spices and cinnamon sticks out of the bowl and discard
6. Pour the remaining liquid through a strainer to remove and large spices or chunks.
7. Garnish with fruit and cinnamon sticks
8. Serve warm
