Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider is the perfect warm, spicy drink to serve for company or a relaxing night at home. It even contains healthy, apple and pumpkin!

How about something to serve your guests that takes just minutes to prepare and can be made ahead? And that same something makes your house smell wonderful? Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider is all of that and more!

We have actually taken plain apple cider and added pumpkin and pumpkin spice! It adds more flavor of the season and vitamins and minerals too!

And by warming it in the slow cooker, it can be put together hours ahead of when it is needed and will make the house smell wonderful as it warms.

As the hostess, you will not have to think about that item on your list at the last minute and your guests will come in nose first! 😊 Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider is really the best of everything!

Sometimes we like to make a batch and just heat a mug at a time in the microwave. We don’t always make it for a large group. That is easy too. Just make the batch, stir it well and scoop out what you need for a mug.

Key Ingredients

(Full printable ingredients and instructions are just below.)

>apple cider—just prepared cider in a jug at the grocery store

>pumpkin puree—the pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix that has added sugar and spices

>pumpkin pie spice

>packed brown sugar—this is really optional. By adding the pumpkin, we did think it needed a bit of sweetness added. If you prefer honey, maple syrup, Swerve or another sweetener, any option is fine.
