Perfect for holiday entertaining, this spiked slow cooker apple cider is incredibly simple to make and will fill your house with the most delicious scents. I’m not much of a bartender but do like to have an adult beverage available for my holiday guests.
This spiked apple cider is the perfect drink.
When the temperatures drops, I find myself craving hot apple cider. You can make this hot cider with or without the alcohol. For large get-togethers, I like to pull out both of my slow cookers and make two versions of this apple cider – with and without the rum.
This recipe is perfect for your football weekends, Thanksgiving, holiday entertaining or just anytime you want a comforting drink. The caramel sauce gives this beverage a smooth silky finish.
Ingredients:
- 64 ounces apple cider or apple juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1⁄8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 8 ounces dark rum (more if you like it strong!)
Instructions:
Step 1: Add juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and caramel sauce to your slow cooker; whisk, cover and cook on low for 3-5 hours.
Step 2: Remove lid, add rum, stir, cover, and cook for 30 additional minutes.
Step 3: Serve with apple slices and cinnamon sticks as garnish.
*Note: This can also be simmered on the stovetop!

This drink looks yummy! I like how easy it is to make, and I love Apple Cider. I never thought about putting it in the Slow Cooker, but this is such a good idea to have this drink over the Holidays.
This is something special, and I’ve never had anything in a slow cooker for 35 hours before, but once I did boil down cider until it was a syrup and soo good. I’d love to try this!
Hi Rosie! Please don’t cook this for 35 hours. I accidentally left out the hyphen. That should be 3-5 hours. Thanks for pointing it out!
Such an awesome recipe and super easy to follow too! Thank you very much. I discovered this post after visiting your coffee maker giveaway. 🙂
This looks delicious and would be great to have available at a party with very little prep and maintenance.
Thank you for the post.
Any specific rum ?
