Description

Cozy up with a warm mug of Mulled Apfelwein Bowle at your next gathering for a special treat. It’s autumn apple comfort in a glass.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 fl oz brandy (2 cups)
  • 2 cups sliced apples (about 2 small apples, I used Gala)
  • 36 fl oz German apfelwein or hard apple cider (4-7% ABV), room temperature
  • 64 fl oz spiced apple cider (8 cups)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 5 large cinnamon sticks, plus more for garnish
  • 1 Tbsp whole cloves

Instructions

  1. The night before serving, soak the sliced apples in the brandy in a large mason jar. Seal the top and set in the refrigerator to soak overnight.
  2. The day of your event, warm the hard cider/German apfelwein, spiced cider, sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a slow cooker set to high for 2 hours, or low for 4 hours. Once heated through, turn the slow cooker to the lowest/warm setting.
  3. When ready to serve, pour excess brandy off the apples and carefully add them to the punch.
  4. Serve warm with a cinnamon stick to garnish each mug.
