Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Cider
I love to see my kid’s faces light up when they come home to wonderful smells filling the house. And slow cooked apple anything is sure to make your house smell as good as it gets this side of heaven. As my kids have gotten older they have come to love “custom” warm drinks, like the ones served in coffee houses and such. This slow cooked apple cider is the perfect treat at the end of a school day or on a lazy Saturday afternoon. During the colder months, I make a batch on the weekend and store whatever we don’t finish in the fridge to quickly heat up after school or for weeknight treats. Don’t let the simplicity fool ya, though. This Caramel Apple Cider is definitely party worthy as well!
I hope you get to make it soon and enjoy some slow sippin’ time with your loved ones during these cold spells!
Since this is such a simple recipe, I’m keeping it quick with the photos today. You basically just dump it all in and stir 🙂
Ingredients
- 64 ounces apple juice
- 12 ounce jar caramel
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Place apple juice in 5 or 6 quart slow cooker. Stir in spices and caramel and place heat on low. After one hour, stir well again.
- Continue cooking on low 3 more hours.
- Serve in mugs topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle, if desired.
*If you're in a hurry and have time to stand over the stove, you can make this in a pot just by heating over medium heat, stirring constantly, and once it comes to a simmer, allow to simmer for thirty minutes, stirring often.

YUM!!!! I can’t wait to make this and take out a mug for my daughter and I then send the rest to school with her for the teachers. It is cold in Texas today and even colder tomorrow so this came at a perfect time. Keep the YUMMINESS coming Christy!!!!
Did you get snow Marsha? I saw on the news where many cities in Texas had snow!
We live in central Texas near Waco so we only saw mostly sleet and and a few sprinkles. That’s enough for me though as I was born and raised in West Virginia and have had enough snow to last me a lifetime. I moved to Texas in 1983. Beautiful memories of the snow though. My favorite being my mom going out on the porch while “us kids” would be at school and make herself a big bucket of snowballs then when we would come home from school she would pelt us as we walked up the hill to the house. Boy could that little 4 foot 10 inch momma pack a snowball hard and had a deadly aim. Boy those were the days!!!
This sounds fabulous! Gotta try it this weekend.
I hope you enjoy it Deanna!!
Sounds and looks amazing!!! I can remember that during the winter months when we would get of the school bus – we could walk into the ;house and there was this wonderful gingerbread smell throughout the house.
The memory at times is strong that I can literally smell the gingerbread!
My mom, Gladys, was one in a million! The most outstanding person then and now. She has been gone for 10 years but she is still missed and thought of often.
Thank you Christy for writing this article – it was what was needed today.
Oh my goodness, I can smell it right along with you Jan!!
Sounds like the perfect thing for the kids this snowy and cold afternoon in Ohio. This little treat will make getting homework and music practice done more enjoyable for kids and mom. Thanks for sharing!
I like your thinking Mary Lynn! I can just see you all gathered around the table warm mugs in hand! Have a blessed day and y’all stay warm!
