Homemade Apple Cider

Wash, core, and slice your apples. Leave the skins on, and set aside.
Peel the orange and separate into segments.
To a large pot, add the sliced fruit, cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
Pour in enough water to cover the fruit by an inch, about 14 - 16 cups.
Bring the pot to a boil on high heat, then reduce the heat to low to create a simmer.
Cover and cook for 2 hours until the fruit are fragrant and tender.
Using a potato masher, crush the softened fruit.
Stir, then cover the pot and simmer for another 45 minutes.
Ladle the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof container to drain the pulp and whole spices.
Discard the pulp, or save for other recipes. I added some ideas to the recipe post.
While the cider is still hot, stir in the brown sugar. Serve with extra garnishes and enjoy!
