Friday's Food Tip: Try This Quick & Easy Hot Apple Cider For a Cozy Fall Treat

The sweet smells of cookies baking in the oven, or hot apple cider bubbling on the back burner can make your home so cozy in the cool fall months.



Make this hot apple cider when you want a cozy fall treat for family or friends.

I’ve tried more complicated recipes with cinnamon sticks, cloves, and other ingredients. But nothing beats this one. It's delicious. It makes the house smell wonderful! And it couldn’t be easier or quicker to make!




QUICK & EASY HOT APPLE CIDER


2 cups apple cider or apple juice

4 tsp. red cinnamon candies (like Red Hots)


Combine apple cider or apple juice with cinnamon candies in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the candies dissolve and the cider is steaming hot. Stir once or twice to mix the dissolved candies throughout the cider.

Pour into coffee mugs. Garnish each cup with an apple slice or cinnamon stick, if desired. Serve immediately.
