I loved Mucki’s posting on fall recipes so I thought I would contribute my favorite fall food. CIDER! Yum. I love it at my MSU tailgates, on cool evenings and cozy movie nights. There are a few different ways of making it but here is one of my favorite ways to try:
Cinnamon Cider: Super easy recipe, it can be doubled or tripled for large crowds. Take 6 cups of apple juice, 1/8 cup of cinnamon candies and heat until candies dissolve. Put in a crock pot to keep warm.
Carmel Apple Cider: Sooo yummy! A little bit more detailed to make, but completely worth it! Cider ingredients, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 3 cups apple cider, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream. Whipped cream, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
-To make the cider, combine sugar and 1/4 cup cream and boil in a saucepan then reduce to medium heat. Stir in cider and water. Continue to heat on medium-high until cider starts to steam. (About 4 minutes)
-Whipped topping, chill the remaining 1/2 cup of cream. Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and whip until combined and the cream takes more of a solid form.
Serve the cider with 2 tablespoons of whipped topping for an extra treat. I find these recipes to be the perfect excuse to cuddle up with my roommates in my MSU apartment.
I hope you enjoy!
