Sugar-Free Hazelnut Apple Cider

Apple cider is the ultimate comfort during the fall. This Hazelnut Apple Cider takes things to another level and is the perfect hot drink for fall. My family absolutely loved this Hazelnut Apple Cider and I’m sure we are going to be making this many times over before the season is over.

There are few things more comforting than enjoying a hot drink when it is cold outside. Fresh apple cider is such an easy one to make from scratch and it makes your whole house smell amazing.

This apple cider recipe is even better with the addition of Torani Sugar Free Hazelnut Syrup. This gives such an amazing boost of flavor and the combinations of apples and hazelnuts are absolutely amazing.

Apple cider does need to simmer for several hours so it isn’t a quick process but I enjoyed the way it made my house smell so much that I’d be tempted to make it again just for the aromatic benefits.

When I told my kids we were making sugar free apple cider, they were hesitant. I experiment with a lot of sugar-free or low sugar recipes and my kids have not always been a fan.

Once they tried this apple cider recipe though, there were no more complaints. Everyone loved this and the hazelnut flavoring just added something so extra that I doubt we’ll make regular apple cider anytime soon.

Sugar-Free Hazelnut Apple Cider Ingredients

• 12 apples, sliced
• 2 oranges, sliced
• 2 Tbsp. Torani Sugar Free Hazelnut Syrup
• 2-4 cinnamon sticks
• 1 Tbsp whole cloves

Sugar Free Hazelnut Apple Cider Preparation

Slice your apples and oranges and seasonings and add to a large stockpot. Cover them with water, leaving enough room at the top for the cider to simmer.

Cook on high until the cider mixture begins to boil, then lower the heat to maintain a simmer.

Cook for 1 hour.

Use a potato masher to smash the apples and oranges and release more flavor into your cider.

Simmer for another hour.

Using a cheesecloth, strain your cider and remove all solids.

Stir in 2 Tbsp. of Torani Sugar Free Hazelnut Syrup.

Serve hot.

My family enjoyed this recipe so much and the aroma filled the entire house so it got bonus points for pure fall comfort.
