HOMEMADE APPLE CIDER

Apple Cider Donuts

Happy first day of Fall friends! I love this time of year. The air gets cooler, the trees turn golden, the leaves get crunchy. It’s just a magical time! Plus, Fall comfort food/drinks make it that much better.

Kicking off the season with our Homemade Apple Cider. This cider cooks on low heat for 7 hours and has all the flavors that you’ll FALL in love with! All you need now is a cozy fire and good book.

Ingredients:

15 medium apples (variety of your choice), quartered

1 orange, peeled and quartered

3 cinnamon sticks

1 tablespoon whole cloves

1/2 cup granulated sugar

Preparation:

In a large pot, add apples, orange, cinnamon sticks and cloves. Cover fruit and spices with water, leaving a few inches of space at the top. Cook on low heat for 7 hours, stirring occasionally. Use a potato masher or large wooden spoon to release liquids from fruit as they soften.

Strain liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher or bowl; remove solid pieces of fruit. Strain liquid again to remove any other pieces. Serve cider warm and garnish with cinnamon sticks. *Will last in refrigerator for up to 5 days*
