Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Cider ….IT’S SOOOOO GOOD

I was out in my yard for several hours today getting it decorated for fall. This season is truly my favorite time of the year. I decorated with scarecrows, pumpkins, mums, and cornstalks. The neighbors love it. I have been doing this for years and it is a fun tradition for our family.

  • 2 quarts apple cider Why cider and not Apple Juice? (Apple cider has all those warm mulling spices in it that make it a cider.)

  • Tie up Cinnamon Sticks in small square of Cheesecloth, and add to Cider.
  • Cover Crock Pot and cook on LOW for 3 hours.
  • After 3 hours, remove Cinnamon Sticks and discard, then add Caramel Sauce to Cider. Stir well, and cook for 30 more minutes
