It wouldn’t be fall without fresh apple cider! Take your apple cider behind the basic beverage with these recipes — from baked goods to glazed chicken!

While everyone else is going crazy for all things pumpkin spice, I’m over enjoying all things apple cider. While pumpkin spice is a sign of fall, bring on the apple cider. There is nothing that screams fall more to me than picking apples, grabbing a jug of fresh apple cider, and warm apple cider donuts. 

From cookies and baked goods to savory entrees, you will love these fruit-infused apple cider recipes. Stock up on apple cider or make your own!
