How to Make Hot Apple Cider
Hot apple cider is one of the easiest fall treats you can make.
This recipe can be made in a crockpot early in the day and enjoyed at night once the sun goes down and you’re ready to sit around the fire pit.
Not to mention the way your house smells all day!
And since you aren’t here to listen to some story about the first time I had mulled cider at a cookout or something, let’s just get to making the cider!
