What a tasty treat on that chilly autumn or winter day. So easy to make, so fun to share — and it takes only minutes!

INGREDIENTS

4 cups (960 ml) water
2 Tablespoon (360 g) medium apples, halved, seeded
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 Tablespoon (30 g) medjool dates, pitted
Add 1 Tablespoon of seasoning if desired, e.g. spices

DIRECTIONS

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 7 minutes 30 seconds or until heavy steam escapes from vented lid.
3. Use seasonal apples with bold flavors such as honeycrisp, gala, or fuji.

Chef's Notes

Adjust the seasoning by adding more or less cinnamon and dates. Try adding a slice of fresh ginger, or a pinch of nutmeg and cloves to the blend to create a more flavourful hot cider. If you have a large group, you can easily double this recipe in the 64 oz. containers. Whole-food health involves utilizing the whole fruit/vegetable, including fibres, for maximum benefits.
