Directions
1. Prepare the Apples
Wash the apples thoroughly and cut them into quarters, leaving the skins on. Remove any seeds.
2. Combine Ingredients
In a large pot, combine the quartered apples and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft and mushy.
4. Mash the Apples
Use a potato masher to mash the apples to release their juice. Continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
5. Strain the Mixture
Place a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl and carefully pour the apple mixture through it to separate the liquid from the solids.
6. Add Sweeteners and Spices
Return the strained liquid to the pot. Add brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
7. Heat Through
Simmer the cider for another 20 minutes over low heat to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Serve
Remove from heat, strain again if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade apple cider!
