Ingredients
- 10 apples, cored and sliced
- 10 cups of water
- 2 to 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, depending on sweetness preference
- 3 cinnamon sticks or 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons of Pumpkin Spice
- ½ tablespoon ground allspice
- 3 pieces of smashed ginger or ¼ teaspoon of ginger powder
- 1 tablespoon of whole cloves or ¼ teaspoon of ground clove
Instructions
- In a large pot with a lid over medium high heat, place the apple slices. Add the sugar and spices. Mix well and cover with the lid.
- Bring to a boil, uncover and cook for 30 minutes. Then, reduce heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 3 hours.
- Once the 3 hours have passed, remove from the heat and let it sit for one hour uncovered.
- Once cooled, grab a large bowl and strain through a fine strainer and in a separate bowl, set aside the apple fiber. Pour the liquid back into the pot and strain it one more time. Run the cider through a cheesecloth until smooth liquid consistency is achieved. (This step takes time in order to achieve a smooth cider)
- Pour the cider in a bottle with a cap or large mason jars with lids to store.

Notes
- For sweeter cider: Gala, Fuji, or Red Delicious For a more acidic and tart cider: Pink Lady or McIntosh.
- For sweeter cider: Gala, Fuji, or Red Delicious
- For a more acidic and tart cider: Pink Lady or McIntosh.
- Choose the best apples: Combining sweet, tart, and aromatic apples will make for the most complex flavored homemade apple cider.
- Don’t overheat it: Over-boiling can make it taste bitter. The low and slow simmer will allow the flavors to infuse the cider.
- Mash the apple puree: You can do this in the pan (with a potato masher) or when straining it, to squeeze out as much juice as possible for the best flavor.
