Easy Slow Cooker Cranberry Apple Cider Recipe

Last Updated on October 24, 2026 by Mr. B

This Easy Slow Cooker Cranberry Apple Cider Recipe is a delicious hot apple cider. I especially enjoy this after a long, hot summer when the leaves are changing colors and the cool, crisp air starts to hit my face. It’s the absolute best way to warm up on a chilly autumn day, and letting the slow cooker do all the work makes it completely foolproof!

Let your slow cooker do all the work for this comforting, minimal-prep autumn drink!

To turn this into a warm cinnamon cider, add a cinnamon stick while it’s in the crock pot or after it’s done! Just throw the ingredients in a slow cooker and let it cook for about 4 – 6 hours. Feel free to add your own favorite fruits to the mix. I added some oranges and grapes. Hope you enjoy it!

For a spiked apple cider recipe, try this hard apple cider with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum!
