Have you ever had the Caramel Apple Spiced Cider from Starbucks? I’m telling you, that drink is pure heaven! (Seriously, if you’ve never had one, you need to order one next time you go to Starbucks.) Then, of course, you’ll have to hit the grocery store and buy the ingredients to make your own!
I have another batch going in the crock pot right now. It’s the last day of school before the holiday break and I thought I would surprise the kids with a special treat. They love this stuff too.
I normally drizzle caramel on top before serving, (that’s how Starbucks serves it,) but I forgot to add the extra caramel when I was took this picture. I thought about re-doing the photo, but sometimes, it just is what it is and I didn’t think the lack of caramel on top would stop anyone from trying the apple cider recipe. 😉
Caramel Apple Spiced Cider:
Ingredients:
- 64ish oz bottle of apple cider (8 cups)
- 5 tablespoons of caramel syrup
- 3 whole cinnamon sticks
- 10 whole cloves
Instructions:
- Add the apple cider and caramel syrup to the slow cooker and stir together.
- Drop in the cinnamon sticks and cloves.
- Cook on low for at least 4 to 6 hours
- Remove the cinnamon and cloves. (Don’t be tempted to leave the cinnamon or cloves in the cider, the spices will become to overpowering. – It will smell good, but it won’t taste good- go ahead, ask me how I know this…)

Well now that you've supplied us with the recipe for making this superb drink why would I go to Starbucks to buy just one? Making the drink myself I could have more than one. You didn't say how many it provides from this recipe. And a scarey thought I guess for some but I've never been in a Starbucks in my life. It's in Grand Junction, and since I'm on a very limited SS budget I couldn't afford one if I had any money. We live about 18 miles or so west of Grand Junction and Starbucks. No I don't feel deprived, maybe someday I'll really spurge and pop in for a coffee. That's what happens when a person is born to depression era survivors, it's in your blood to save any way you can, lol. Enjoy your blog very much and all the great blog parties. Hope you and yours have a wonderful happy, healthy Christmas.

It makes quite a bit, but you can cut the recipe in half or quarters, depending on how big your apple juice container is. After it's brewed and cooled down, I just pour it back into the apple juice bottle and store it in the fridge. Then when the kids want some, I give the bottle a good shake, pour it into mugs and reheat it in the microwave. I rarely go to starbucks anymore since it is just out of my normal route. My parents really like an afternoon frappachino and I find myself getting one too when we are together…
