    Warm comfort has never been easier that this Crockpot Apple Cider. With crisp, sweet apple, aromatic cinnamon, and a dash of other fall spices, this delicious mocktail is Autumn in a cup. Not only does it look amazing with its rich, vibrant color of fall leaves, it smells just as incredible as it tastes!

    This delicious mocktail takes very little effort and makes enough for a crowd. It only has a few simple ingredients and easy instructions, so really anyone can make it.

    Not only that, but all the warm spices and apples make your house smell amazing! If you have a second crockpot, be sure to make my favorite crockpot candy.

    What spices are best for making cider?

    For a traditional apple cider, allspice, cloves and cinnamon are best. You can certainly spice it up a bit more with one star anise but I am not a big fan. You can even find many of the same spices in my non-alcoholic mulled wine.

    Ingredients you will need

    • cinnamon stick (like we use in our non alcoholic mulled wine )
    • cloves
    • allspice
    • brown sugar or brown sugar simple syrup
    • apple cider
    • red apple

    How to make this scrumptious cider

    • Put juice, sugar and cinnamon sticks in a crockpot or slow cooker
    • Place remaining spice in a cheesecloth or just loose in the cider
    • Cover and cook on low for 2-4 hours

    Pro Tip: Don’t overcook the spices in the cider or it will taste bitter

    • Remove spice bag or loose spices before serving

    • Garnish with apple slices and cinnamon sticks before serving (optional)

    Can you reheat it in your crockpot?

    You can absolutely keep reheating this delicious mocktail until it’s gone by turning your crockpot or slow cooker on low, or high if you are in a hurry.

    Other mocktails that use non-alcoholic wine and spirits…

    I love using 0.0% wine and spirits in a variety of mocktails! My Thanksgiving punch recipes non alcoholic and non alcoholic mulled wine are delicious. Here are some of my other favoritesโ€ฆ

    • Mimosa Mocktail
    • Virgin Margarita
    • Non-Alcoholic Prosecco Drink
    • Non-Alcoholic Gin and Tonic
    • Fresh Raspberry Mocktail

    I always 0.0 to ensure these drinks are truly alcohol free. Many โ€œnon-alcoholicโ€ options out there still have .07% by volumeโ€ฆa big difference from 0.0%!

    Other mocktails without wine or spirits

    • Virgin Strawberry Mocktail
    • Candy Cane Martini Christmas Mocktail
    • Smoking Halloween Drinks Non-Alcoholic
    • Non-Alcoholic White Russian
    • Grapefruit Mocktail
    • BEST Thanksgiving Drinks Non-Alcoholic
    • Cranberry Mocktail
    • Non-Alcoholic Bloody Mary Mocktail
    • Blackberry Lemonade
    • Lavender Lemonade
    • Gingerbread Martini Mocktail

    And we have some amazing roundups from other bloggers as well in our Christmas mocktails, Halloween Mocktails, Thanksgiving mocktails, summer mocktails, Motherโ€™s Day mocktails and 4th of July drinks!

    If mocktail making is new to you, donโ€™t worry, we show you how to make the prefect mocktail everytime!
