Wash, peel, core and roughly chop 8 apples.
Add apples to the crockpot along with 4 cups of cold water, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, two cinnamon sticks and ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg.
Cook on low for about 4 hours or until the apples are really soft and have released their juices.
Carefully ladle juice into a nut milk bag that is positioned over a large bowl to catch the juice.
Allow mixture cool for about 15 minutes before handling.
Strain juice into the bowl and discard pulp. Taste the cider and add honey if desired.
Serve warm or cold.
For a great cocktail, mix 8 ounces of cider with one ounce of bourbon (I use Makers Mark), garnish with a dehydrated apple and enjoy.
