Homemade Apple Cider
You know what happens when my kids go back to school? I buy about three bushels of apples. There is really no good reason for it. We couldn’t possibly eat all of those apples. But, it’s ok, because throughout the years, I have learned how to make a lot of really delicious apple desserts and drinks. This year, I made a spiced apple cider, and I will never buy store bought again!
If you decide to make a purchase through my links, I will be paid a small commission for it. This doesn’t cost you anything additional.
Mulled Cider vs Homemade Apple Cider
I wanted our apple cider to have a deep flavor profile, so I used a lot of the same spices I would in a mulled drink. And, truly, the flavors compliment each other so well, I can’t imagine it any other way!
