That right there is the finest lineup of ingredients Target has to offer.

Time for some sugar! Make sure you pack it all good and nice now. The reason the world is ending in 2012 is because people like you don't pack their brown sugar.

Add the cinnamon sticks. I know the recipe says 6 and I only have 4 in my hand.... If that bothers you just stare really close at the picture for a while... The other 2 will appear eventually

Bring the cloves to the mix. I use the cheap ones because I'm not sure it's worth the extra eleventy billion dollars for name brand cloves.... I'm mean how often do you use cloves?

Lemon juice in cider?? Just do it.

Cut the apple up into pieces. You can do slices or rings or chunks or whatever your little heart desires.

Stir it up a little bit. You don't have to go crazy, but give it a good mix. I guess you could go crazy but I'm not cleaning up the mess...crazy.

I say slow cooker.... But cool kids have Crock Pots. You can also use a pot on the stove. It's going to sit for 4-5 hours. Put it on low setting.
