Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Stove Method: Place apple cider, cranberry juice, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, and the sliced apple in a stockpot. With a vegetable peeler, peel the orange rind into long strips if you can (it looks pretty) put them in the pot and then squeeze the juice of the orange into the pot as well. Heat to high and once it's about to boil, reduce heat to simmer and simmer for about 20 minutes while the cinnamon sticks work their magic. When you are getting ready to serve, add the rum, stir, and enjoy!
  2. Slow Cooker Method: Add everything but the rum to your slow cooker and set it on "high".  Let the cinnamon sticks to their thing for about an hour, then switch to "keep warm". Add the rum, stir to combine. Enjoy!
