Slow Cooker Apple Cider

Ingredients:

6 large apples, quartered (no need to core or peel them)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tbsp ground allspice
Water

How To:

Throw the apples, sugar, and spices in the slow cooker.  Fill the pot with water until it is about an inch or two from the top.  Cover and cook on high for 6 hours.  Strain out the solids, and if you really want to, strain the remaining liquid through a cheesecloth.

The Verdict:

I loved it and Hubby loved it, although it wasn't as thick or cloudy as the store-bought stuff (it was definitely not clear, though... just how I like it!).  It tasted like traditional cider, but with the texture of apple juice.  VERY tasty, though!  And a good way to use up some apples after an overzealous apple picking weekend.
