Notes

  • You can use either apple cider or apple juice for this recipe. The spices give it a great flavor, so apple juice works just as well.
  • If you can't find a particular spice, it's ok to omit it. Also, feel free to adjust spice amounts to your preference. Check a natural grocery store for whole spices, but it's perfectly fine to use ground spices here as well.
