Hot Apple Cider

Look for fresh, cloudy apple cider that does not contain added sugar or spices in your store’s refrigerated section. Sugar content varies in ciders so you may want to stir in up to ¼ cup brown sugar at the end of cooking. Toasting the spices amplifies their flavor, but you can skip this step and still have delicious hot cider. Adjust the spices to your preference or swap in fresh ginger or whole black peppercorns for a personal twist. Double the recipe and use the Keep Warm cook mode after cooking if you’d like to serve this at a party. Adults may enjoy a splash of rum or brandy added at the end.

Toast the spices, if desired

Place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. If using a covered casserole dish that isn't heatproof, use a medium saute pan. Add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice and star anise. Stir with a wooden spoon or swirl and shake the pan constantly to toast the spices until they are fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Quickly remove the pot from the heat.

Taste, adjust sweetness and serve

Remove the cider from the June Oven and uncover. If desired, add brown sugar by the tablespoonful to taste, stirring well and tasting after each addition. If desired, use a slotted spoon or strainer to remove the spices and orange from the mulled cider. Ladle the cider into mugs and garnish with cinnamon sticks and apple slices. Cover and keep the cider warm with the Keep Warm cook mode.
