Homemade Hot Apple Cider
Whenever the weather gets colder, I start craving hot apple cider. I love making large batches of hot apple cider in the Instant Pot so everyone in my family can enjoy it!
To make homemade hot apple cider, I combine sweet apples, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks and ground cloves with water. I add it to the instant pot so all of the delicious flavors can meld together while filling my home with its warm fragrances.
