Tips:
- Choose the right apples. Tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn, work best for this recipe. They hold their shape well and have a nice tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the cider and brandy.
- Peel and core the apples before cooking. This will help to prevent the apples from becoming mushy and will also make them easier to eat.
- Use a good quality cinnamon stick. A fresh cinnamon stick will impart the best flavor to your cider. Avoid using ground cinnamon, as it will not provide the same depth of flavor.
- Simmer the cider for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the apples, cinnamon, and brandy to meld together.
- Serve the cider hot. This cider is best enjoyed when it is hot and steaming. You can garnish it with a cinnamon stick or a slice of apple.
