Instructions
  1. 1

    Load up the slow cooker

    Combine the apple cider, caramel syrup, and lemon juice in a 3-quart slow cooker. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and stir them right into the cider.

  1. 2

    Bundle the spices

    Place the scraped vanilla pod, cinnamon sticks, and whole allspice in a cheesecloth bag, tie it with string, and drop it into the cooker so the spices infuse without floating around.

  2. 3

    Let it warm

    Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, until everything is steaming hot and your whole place smells like fall.

  3. 4

    Ladle and garnish

    Discard the spice bag, then ladle the cider into mugs. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel topping, and a cinnamon stick if you want to go all out.

Notes & Tips

This is the one that makes your whole kitchen smell like a candle shop, in the best way. The caramel rounds off the tartness and the real vanilla bean is doing way more than you'd expect, so don't skip it. Set it, forget it for a couple hours, and ladle it out all afternoon. It holds warm in the cooker, so it's perfect when people are coming and going.
