this recipe would've gotten 5+ stars from me except the whole spices in the cheese cloth threw me off. After fighting with the cheese cloth and finally deciding that the cinnamon and allspice would just end up falling through the cloth anyway, i decided to just dump all the spices in. I used 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 dark brown sugar. added nutmeg and cloves. after dumping the mixture through a strainer i had to taste the result and it tasted wonderful. i gave my DH a small taste and he said it was thicker then he expected but i think that came from all the spices being added in. It is absolutely wonderful and i havent even strained the apples through cheesecloth yet. thanks for a great simple (besides the cheesecloth thing) recipe. I fell in love with apple cider all over again

Thank you so much for posting, this was wonderful! I used about a dozen smallish apples, 1/2 red and 1/2 green. I used 1/2 a cup of brown sugar and 1/2 a cup of white sugar and added cloves and nutmeg also. It added up to about 7 cups of final cider although I may have gotten more but got a little impatient with the straining process. Thanks again, this was a wonderful, cheap fall recipe that I made with the kids. Bonus: The house smelled wonderful for hours!

Absolutely fabulous! I used Macintosh apples. I didn't have enough allspice, so I substituted in some ground cloves. This puts store-bought cider to shame. I will DEFINITELY be making this over and over. Thank you, Crazy Crafter!

This was really good! I think I put in a little to much water. This was pretty easy and a great way to use up apples! I think I ended up with about 3/4 gallon cider.
