Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Spiced Rum Cider
Made with apple cider, spiced rum, caramel, and spices, Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Spiced Rum Cider is a warm cocktail that's perfect for chilly fall days and holiday gatherings!
Equipment
- 4 or 5-quart slow cooker
- whisk
Ingredients
- 6 cups apple cider (48 ounces)
- 1/4 cup caramel topping (I use Smucker's)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 3 cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 apple sliced or chopped
- 3/4 cup spiced rum
Instructions
- Add the apple cider, caramel, and vanilla extract to the slow cooker. Use a whisk to incorporate the caramel until it has mostly dissolved. Add the spices (cinnamon sticks, cloves, ground nutmeg), and give everything a stir. For softer apple, add it now, for more crisp apple, add it later. Cook on high for 1 1/2 hours.
- After 1 1/2 hours, turn the slow cooker to "warm". Add the spiced rum and apple (if you didn't earlier). Give everything a stir and it's done. Great served with apple slices. Enjoy!
Notes
- Although seven cups of liquid go into the slow cooker, through evaporation and apple absorption, this recipe makes (6) 8-ounce servings.
- If you double this recipe, make sure to allow extra time for everything to heat through.
- If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Because apple cider is usually unfiltered, you may have apple sediment at the bottom and need to stir it when serving.
- This is delicious cold too!
