Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Wash the apples thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into quarters. You can leave the skins on for added flavor.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the quartered apples and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 2 hours. Stir occasionally.

  4. 4

    Strain the Mixture

    After 2 hours, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the mixture into another pot or bowl. Press down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.

  5. 5

    Add Spices

    Return the strained liquid to the pot. Add sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and nutmeg. Stir well.

  6. 6

    Simmer Again

    Simmer the spiced cider over low heat for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then serve warm. Optionally, garnish with additional cinnamon sticks.
