How To Make Slow Cooker Apple & Rum Punch

3. Serve: Ladle the punch into cups, and enjoy with some air-dried apple slices for a little extra flair and nibble.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger adds a strong, zesty flavor. Make sure to peel it before adding it to the slow cooker for the best taste.
• Slice apples thinly: Thin apple slices help the flavor infuse better into the punch, giving it a richer taste.
• Stir the rum well: Add the rum just before serving and stir well to ensure it mixes evenly throughout the punch.
• Don’t overcook: Keep the slow cooker on low for 3 hours—cooking it too long may make the flavors too strong or change the texture of the apple slices.
• Add air-dried apple slices for garnish: These add a decorative touch and extra flavor. You can easily make them in an air fryer!
