Apple Pie Cider

By 152 Comments

I made this Apple Pie Cider Sweet ‘N Low recipe as a sponsored post for the Socialstars #donthesitaste campaign. Opinions are my own.

As the weather turns fall’ish and the air becomes crisper, I start to crave the comforting flavors of apple, cinnamon, maple and ginger, especially when they’re served warm.

One of my favorite fall drinks is apple pie cider, and over here we love it heated up, but it’s also quite delicious when chilled. There’s also the option of serving it as a cocktail — it’s a party favorite!

This year I decided to make it with zero calorie Sweet ‘N Low sweetener in an effort to reduce the calories and therefore the guilt, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

The sweetness is just right, and since Sweet ‘N Low is diabetic friendly, I know I can not only serve it at parties, but I can bring it when I go tailgating with my bestie.

  104. This is perfect for those of us who are still experiencing rather uncomfortable temperatures. I want it to be fall, but it’s hard to get into the spirit of the season when it’s 90 degrees outside. Chilled cider for me!

  130. I love apple drinks (whether it is cider or juice), I think I would leave out the sugar (I get sweeted out quickly) I think we will try this during our halloween party!

  134. I guess I don’t understand the need for the Sweet and Low. Both apple cider and apple juice are sweet enough. I think I ‘ll skip the fake sugar but do the rest.

    Thanks for sharing, now I want some. .i bet it would be great with a little captain. 😉

  144. I never thought of adding Sweet n Low to apple cider–what a great idea for diabetics like me–apples have enough natural sugar-I don’t need any extra!! This recipe sounds delicious and I think hot would be my choice.
