Hot Apple Pie Punch

Hot Toddies : Mulled Wine, Buttered Rum, Spiced Cider, and Other Soul-Warming Winter Drinks

Cute host/hostess gift idea!


Put raisins in cup and cover with rum; soak 2 hours. Pour cider and apple brandy in large saucepan and add soaked golden raisins, cinnamon sticks and cloves. Heat very slowly; do not allow to boil. Pour into large heat-proof bowl or pitcher and stir in the apple slices.

To serve, ladle the punch into heat-proof glasses, making sure each glass has a few raisins, cinnamon stick, cloves and apple slices.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
