Welcome autumn with these sweet and savory recipes that call for apple cider!

1 / 12

In the States and most of Canada, apple cider is the name given to unsweetened, unfiltered apple juice. It is non-alcoholic and has a limited shelf life unless frozen. Alcoholic versions are called hard cider. In other parts of the world, cider refers to an alcoholic drink made from fruits such as apple or pears, can be dry or sweet and is often slightly fizzy from fermentation.

Apple cider makes delicious drinks, doughnuts and cakes. On the savory side, it pairs well with chicken and pork. Here are a few recipes to inspire you to pick up some cider next time you’re at the farmers’ market or apple orchard.
