Cinnamon Cider
September 24, 2010
Meeshie and my husband just left for a nature walk with the Girl Scouts.
The walk will be from 8-9 pm and there will be ‘smores. I sent them off with this awesome cinnamon cider to keep them warm.
This is one of my favorite drinks this time of year. It’s great for a crowd plus it’s really simple to make.
Oh-yeah and you can spike it with Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum or Cinnamon Schnapps. But it’s so good that you don’t have to if you don’t want to.
Cinnamon Cider
- 1 gallon Apple Juice
- 1 container of Caramel-the size really doesn’t matter just use the caramel you put on ice cream
- 4-6 Cinnamon Sticks
Combine all three ingredients into a large pot. Heat on low until warmed through making sure that you don’t bring the mixture to a boil. Before serving you can remove the cinnamon sticks, but I usually keep them in. You can then ladle it into cups or transport it into a pump thermos.
Enjoy.
This is a wonderful companion to the pumpkin donut muffins!
I bought a pump Thermos this weekend! I’m making this for the competition we are going to this coming weekend.

Good luck this weekend!

This looks good, I’m going to try this around the holidays.
Denise-
By holidays I hope you mean to start with Halloween and then work your way through. You will not be sorry!

This was a hit tonight! My cinnamon sticks didn’t add much flavor, so I just sprinkled some cinnamon into it. The friends that went with us really enjoyed it! My kids love it!
Kathy-
Glad you like it. Sorry that you didn’t have enough cinnamon flavor. I hope you try it again. Maybe add more sticks?

It was really good, and I’m making it again today. I made just enough to fill the Thermos last night (a 2 qt. bottle of juice). I have the other 1/2 jar of caramel leftover and I don’t mind using ground cinnamon…it doesn’t take much. You should have seen the faces on the people around me when I poured this into the cups! Priceless! “That smells so good!” “Do you have an extra cup, I’ll pay you!” It was so funny!
Kathy-
I love when a recipe is like that! All those great comments. I’m so glad that everyone enjoyed it.
