Delicious Hot Apple Cider Recipe

I always know when Fall is here, the apple orchards in the area start making cider, or selling the jugs they stored over the winter.  I really love apple cider, but get me some hot spiced apple cider and I’m in heaven.

It’s a delicious warm a cup full of Fall flavors and goes great with apple muffins or a pumpkin roll.

You can make this in your slow cooker for your Halloween or Fall festival party.  I just like to have it around the house.  You can make this up and once completed put it back into the container it was in and serve yourself a glass when you want.  Warm it up in the microwave or on the stove.
