Fall: Cooking with Apples

Cynthia (Nanny): Crock Pot Apple Cider
Today the twins and I used a simple recipe I found on allrecipes.com to make Apple Cider.
It was a big hit and the girls loved that they were able to add in the ingredients.
As soon as their mom walked in the door, they wanted her to try it. They were so excited to tell her about it.
We took advantage of the chilly weather outside and took their cider cups outside. Great, easy recipe for kids and your house will smell like Christmas. :)

Ingredients Needed
64 oz Apple juice
2 c Orange juice
2 tbsp cinnamon
3-4 cinnamon sticks
(After testing it, I decided to add one diced apple to the pot for extra flavor)
Add all ingredients to a crock pot. Let it simmer on low for about 6-7 hours. Stir occasionally. 

Cynthia (Nanny): Apple Muffins
Today we made Apple muffins using a Jiffy brand muffin mix.  I diced and added in half an apple to add extra apple flavor.  
The girls really enjoy taking part in these cooking activities.  Their favorite part was stirring the batter.  It's always fun to let kids help with cooking.
