Wash and chop the apples into small pieces.

Place the chopped apples in a large pot and cover with water.

Add cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and allspice berries to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30-45 minutes.

Once the apples are soft, use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash them and release their juices.

Let the mixture simmer for another 30 minutes.

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any solids.

Stir in brown sugar or honey to taste.

Enjoy your freshly made homemade apple cider!
