Slow Cooker Warm Apple Cinnamon Spiced Wine
Description
This recipe combines five cups of apple cider with red wine and aromatic spices—cinnamon sticks, cloves, and ground nutmeg—in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. A peeled orange contributes zest and fresh juice, which enhances the citrus brightness in the drink. Optional sliced apple adds texture and subtle sweetness.
In the slow cooker method, the mixture is cooked on high for an hour and then kept warm on low or warm setting after adding spiced rum and apples. The stovetop method involves simmering the mixture for about 30 minutes before adding rum. Serving warm in mugs, garnished with apple slices or cinnamon sticks, presents an inviting drink with layers of sweet fruit, spice, and the depth of wine and rum.

- 1 red wine
- 4 cinnamon stick
- 4 cloves
