HomemadeApple Cider

I love apple cider but I don’t want to buy a gallon or half gallon at a time because I won’t drink it that fast. We picked some apples 🍎 from our tree and we made this.

It works better with a variety of apples, we just used the red ones and it definitely could use some green in it for that sour taste. You need about 1 apple per serving

I used 30 apples but here’s a recipe for a smaller batch. Multiply it for what you need!

10–12 medium apples, a mix of sweet and tart (e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji, Granny Smith), quartered

2 oranges, quartered (peel for less bitterness, if desired)

4 cinnamon sticks

1 tablespoon whole cloves

optional flavor boosters: 1 teaspoon whole allspice, grated fresh nutmeg, and/or 1–2 inches fresh ginger (sliced)

14–16 cups water (just enough to cover fruit by about an inch)

1/2 to 3/4 cup sweetener (white sugar for clean flavor, brown sugar or maple syrup for warmth and depth)

pinch of salt

Add apples, oranges, cinnamon, cloves, and any optional spices to a large stockpot. Pour in enough water to just cover the fruit by 1–2 inches. Add a pinch of salt.

Simmer gently. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 2 hours, until the apples are very soft and fragrant.

Mash for flavor. Use a potato masher or sturdy spoon to crush the softened apples and oranges against the pot’s sides. This releases extra juice and aromatic oils. Cover and simmer for 30–60 minutes more for a deeper, richer flavor.

Strain well. Carefully ladle the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pot or large heatproof bowl. Press firmly on the mixture to extract all of the liquid, then discard pulp and spices afterward.

Sweeten and balance. Stir in sweetener of choice while the cider is still warm, starting with ½ cup and adding more to taste. (I recommend 3/4 cup if you’d like cider sweetened to a store-bought level.) A tiny splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar can also brighten the flavor if needed.

Enjoy within 5 days, freeze or can!

You only need to water bath for about 5-10 mins for pints and quarts, even half gallons
