I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #FallFlavors recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
Slow Cooker Spiked Apple Cider will warm up you up on a crisp fall night. Fresh cider, brandy, fresh orange juice, cinnamon, and cloves make a perfect fall drink.
Today marks the last of my #FallFlavors recipes! There have been so many yummy posts I have a list full of things I want to make! However, I have saved one of my favorite recipes for last: Slow Cooker Spiked Apple Cider.
Cider is one of my favorite drinks. I look forward to apple season this year for a chance to buy some fresh from the orchard. I really like my cider slightly on the tart side, but I love it both hot and cold.
This recipe takes a fresh ciders and slow cooks it with brandy and a little orange juice to create a fall cocktail that is absolutely delicious! I love to make a crock of this on a cool day, or when we have a get together with friends. The other plus is that it is easy to put in the fridge and save for later if needed.
Apple cider, which obviously delicious, is a pretty nostalgic drink for most people as well. Who doesn't remember a cold day with a one of those white cups filled with cider? It is still one of my favorite smells!

It's unseasonably cold here this week, so I could use a glass of this cider to warm me up! And I bet it would make the house smell amazing too!
