Ingredients
Scale
- 10 medium apples, quartered
- ½ cup (100 g) packed light brown sugar
- 4 cinnamon sticks (or 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon)
- 1 tablespoon ground allspice
- Water to cover apples by 2 inches when pressed down
Instructions
- Place quartered apples in a large stockpot and add enough water to cover them by about 2 inches when pressed down as they will float.
- Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, and ground allspice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil uncovered for 1 hour.
- Once boiling is complete, cover the pot, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for 2 more hours to fully infuse the flavors.
- Let the cider cool slightly before proceeding.
- Strain the mixture into a bowl through cheesecloth, pressing gently on the solids to extract all the liquid flavor.
- Discard the solids and strain the liquid again through cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve for a smooth texture.
- Serve the homemade apple cider hot or chilled.
Notes
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor.
- For a stronger spice flavor, add a couple of cloves to the mixture.
- Customize by adding orange peels or cranberries during the simmering process.
