We’ve been dying to share this recipe with you. It’s perfect for the transition to cooler weather now starting here in Indianapolis.
We’re taking off for a weekend of fall fun with some dear friends. We enjoyed this warm beverage around our firepit the other night, and just may have to bring it along! It’s very easy to make, and the rum compliments the spice and cider perfectly. (You could make it without the “spike” and it would be delicious as well.)
Next week we’ll be back to sharing more apple recipes! In the meantime, here are a few interesting apple recipes from around the web:
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal from Annie’s Eats
Baked Apples from Sprouted Kitchen
Individual Apple Crisps from Cookie and Kate
Apple and Squash Calzones from Happyolks
Apple, Pear and Gin Cocktail from Naturally Ella
Apple Pie a la Mode Smoothie from The Fig Tree
Grandma’s Apple Tartelettes from Tartelette
Apple and Oat Biscuits (Gluten-Free) from Green Kitchen Stories
- ½ teaspoon whole cloves
- 2 star anise
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 6 cups apple cider
- 1 cup rum
- Combine all ingredients in a medium pot. Heat over medium heat until warm, about 10 minutes. Ladle into mugs and enjoy.
