With family in for the holidays, I thought it would be a fun treat to have some spiced wine with my Mother-In-Law while we watched movies, and put puzzles together with the kids. And, boy was it a treat! Luckily we had others to share this with, or I think we might have had the whole bottle! Nana actually high-fived me in the kitchen for the awesome new recipe.  It’s the little things that make us happy! 😉 Here’s the recipe that I just ever so slightly adapted from Taste of Home’s Christmas Cookbook for you and your guests!:

You’ll Need:

• 2 bottles of Red Wine – I found one at Target called Apothic Red – it’s a blend of reds
• 3 medium tart apples peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• Spice Bag – You can use several layers of cheesecloth, or I like to use a coffee filter bag
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 1 tsp. whole cloves
• 1 tsp. ground allspice
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Now, on to this recipe:

• Grab your slow cooker and pour the sugar, wine, and lemon juice
• 
• Using your spice bag , place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, cinnamon and allspice inside and tie it together 
• Place that in the slow cooker with the wine
• add your apples
• 
• Place on high for 4 hours
• 
• Remove the spice bag, and scoop into mugs, or let it cool a little and pour into wine glasses – enjoy!
