Who’s Hungry For Some Festive Apple Desserts? Check Out These 7 Apple-Licious Recipes :)

I really enjoy making this apple cider in the mornings or serving it during holiday parties. It puts you in the holiday spirit right quick 🙂

Check out what my pals over at TPW had to say about this recipe:

“I’ve made this apple cider recipe for years, and I’ve always loved the addition of maple syrup. But rather than use storebought juice, I like juicing the apples myself; it gives the cider a nice pulpy quality. (You can also use half storebought, then fill in the rest with fresh-squeezed apple juice. Or you can use storebought apple cider. Anything works fine.)”

This recipe gave me a reason to pull out that clunky juicer I just had to have that I rarely ever use.

Ingredients

4 whole McCormick Cinnamon Sticks

1/8 teaspoon Ground Cloves

8 whole Allspice Berries

Orange Peel From 1 Sunkist Orange

Lemon Peel From 1 Lemon

1/2 cup Maple Syrup

6 cups Unfiltered (fresh Squeezed Is Great) Apple Juice

1/2 cup Captain Morgan Dark Rum (optional)

Instructions 

Place cinnamon sticks, ground cloves, allspice berries, orange peel, and lemon peel in a medium saucepan. Pour in maple syrup and apple juice, then bring to almost a boil. Reduce the heat to its lowest setting and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and serve in mugs.

(Add a splash of rum for an adults-only version! Yum, yum, yum.)

Quick Tip: Serve this apple cider with a cinnamon stick in a cute little mug or transparent glass.

Thank you to TPW for this great recipe.
