National Hot Mulled Cider Day

While today wasn't overly cool, 
it was still a perfect evening to 
celebrate
National Hot Mulled Cider Day
These little mugs of heaven made our home smell divine! I love fall!


Ingredients
  • 64 ounces of apple cider (fresh is preferred)
  • 3 sticks of cinnamon (put a few on the side for stirring)
  • 6 whole cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ½ teaspoon fresh nutmeg
  • 1 jar of Smuckers Salted Caramel Sauce 
 The directions are simple, simple, simple!
In your crockpot combine the 
apple cider, spices, cloves, 
and cinnamon sticks
Allow to cook on high for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours
Put a tablespoon or two of caramel in the bottom 
of the mug, pour in hot cider and stir with a cinnamon stick. 
Enjoy your beverage!

To be honest, 
I wish this day would have been 
a week or so later, 
because we haven't been to our favorite farms yet. 
We have a few that we enjoy loading the family 
up and driving to, 
and the foliage here is
really beautiful a few weeks into the season, 
so we enjoy driving for that reason as well...

Do you enjoy a drive through the forest
during autumn?

Do you have a mulled cider recipe? 
Share it with me! 

Tomorrow's National Day 
is...
National Homemade Cookies Day!
Share your favorite type of cookie to make
and give me a recipe!

    We go to this place near Christmas to see the light display and they sell hot mulled cider. It's SO good!

    Yesterday started out cool, but then got much warmer! Today is rainy and would be perfect for a cup of cider.

    This sounds really good. It would be great on a cool night sitting around the fire pit.

    The smell of apples and cinnamon is one of my favorite fall scents. Thinking about it makes me happy.

    I love mulled cider! Sometimes I just use cinnamon sticks and oranges with the cider in the crockpot. It's very kid-friendly.

    I've never had mulled coder with caramel before. It's 80° here, but I'm now feeling mulled cider is in order. Yum!

    I love your mug photo! However I don't like apple cider at all, I had no idea it had it's own day. I like eating apples but I don't like them in recipes for some reason, I don't like apple cider or apple pie, weird right?

    YUM! Now that the weather is getting cooler this would be perfect. I love anything with caramel and my son loves cinnamon. This will be a hit in my house, thanks!

    I love hot cider. I always look forward to fall and the cider (even the adult kind!) that gets made from the apple orchards around here.

    I love hot apple cider but I've never tried to make it myself. I may try it this year just to see. I think I'll try yours in a few days just to see. Love that you can do that in a crockpot now.

    I live in Vegas, it's still pretty warm. Even at night. Come November, this is what I'd drink.
