I have created the perfect apple cider that will make your heart & soul thank you and your house smell like straight up HEAVEN. It’s spicy, it’s sweet, it’s fruity. It’s EVERYTHING I’ve ever wanted in a good cup of apple cider. Not to mention the pomegranate is a nice little surprise pop of flavor. And if you really wanna spice things up a notch, feel free to add vodka or orange liqueur ;)

6 apples (I used pink lady), cored and sliced – leave the skin on!
1 orange, sliced
1-2 tablespoons mulling spices
3 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup brown sugar
about 6 cups of water
2 RIPE pomegranates
1. Add the first 5 ingredients to the crockpot; add water and leave about 2 inches of room at the top.
2. Cut the pomegranates in half, squeeze juice and seeds over the crockpot, then discard the fruit.
3. Cook in crockpot on low for 4-6 hours, mashing the fruit occasionally.
4. Ladle the cider into a strainer then into a mixing bowl, leaving out the chunks of fruit, serve warm!
