Hot Spiced Cider ~Do you like apples? I think they are the perfect fruit. You can juice them, crush them, make cider, and decorate them with candy and caramels. You can bake them, boil them, dry them, bob for them or just plain eat them! Plays are written about them and they are one of the most famous fruits in the Bible. They are the stuff of family fun and Festivals, plays and fairy tales, and legends of Johnny Appleseed, Paul Buntan and his blue ox, Babe. There are so many varieties you can’t name them all here. Fall in Michigan is so very very special. The apples in the orchard across from me are full of heavy fruited tree limbs bowing down to kiss the Earth. Oh, did I say how good they are for you? Apples around here are what they call Pure Michigan! For more apple recipes see An Apple A day

    Fun drink idea for fall. I bet this is twice as good as just hot spiced cider. Bonus, is your apple cup! Yum. Thanks for sharing at the Inspiration Spotlight party. Pinned & sharing.

    Oh, Yes, I do, Marilyn. Apples, especially in Autumn, are yummy. This year I’m hoping to go up to Apple Hill, pick some apples, and make this recipe. There is a craft market in October, so I’ll probably get a pumpkin too.

      That is so wonderful Sara. We have a large farm down the street with a huge orchard. We are there every week picking up something. They make the best rhubarb butter and honey. Your trip sounds fun! Have a great week!

      Thank you Jenny for the pin. The apple cups were hard to carve. I won’t tell you how many I went through before I realized the bigger the apple the better!! Have a great week.

    Those apple mugs look amazing.
    i love mulled wine so I’m imagining I’ll love this too. We usually have people round for Bonfire night (that’s a very UK thing) so this will be perfect to serve then.

      I have yet to try apple butter. We have an orchard just walking distance away so I may just give it a try. I usually just buy theirs. Have a good week and stay safe!

    Hi Marilyn, this looks so good, I love the apple cups, dont think I have seen that done before, “Edible cups”! My husband drinks apple cider every morning, I wonder what he would do if it was served in the apple cups.

    Thanks for sharing on Friday Features this week, appreciate your visit!!
    Have a beautiful weekend!

      Heya Debbie! I myself don’t drink premade cider as it s non-pasteurized and not good for autoimmune depressed systems. I rather make it myself but am a bit lazt. For that!

      Thanks Judee! All you do to make the cup is rhink of it like a pumpkin. Cut in half, scoop out enough of the apple to allow how much ,iwuid you want, and add a cinnamon stick! Each apple pakes two cups. Use the scraped apple to make whatever. I like to do a dip or a kabob. Any apple will work but use a large enough one to hold the beverage. Some apples are crooked, try not to use those.
