It’s hard for me to transition to fall because I love summer so much but two things help – apple cider and pumpkin everything. Watching football and drinking a delicious steaming mug of hot buttered rum apple cider is a great way to spend a weekend. Below I’ve included instructions for how to make this tasty fall drink in a slow cooker. It makes an entire gallon so it’s great to serve at a party. You certainly can cut the recipe down to whatever amount of servings you want. Also, you can make this recipe on top of the stove instead of a slow cooker.

Directions

1. Pour the gallon of apple cider into the slow cooker.

2. Turn the slow cooker to high.

3. Add the butter, sugar, and spices.

4. Let the drink heat up for about an hour and a half.

5. Mix well before serving.

6. Add rum (if you choose) to each individual glass before pouring the cider in. I like to use a cinnamon stick to stir the beverage.

7. If the cider gets too hot, turn the slow cooker to the low or warm setting.
