Spiked Apple Cider in the Slow Cooker

There is nothing better than the smell of apple cider simmering away in the slow cooker. Add a shot of rum or bourbon to make it spiked apple cider and you have the cozy apple cider cocktail that is perfect through fall and winter. I love making and serving it in the slow cooker because it’s a hand off approach and easily stays warm for serving.
