What do you make when you're craving pumpkin AND apple cider? Well, this Pumpkin Apple Cider of course! Pumpkin, apple cider, and seasonal spices come together to create this warming and delicious fall beverage. Add a splash of bourbon, brandy, or apple liqueur and you've created a tasty fall libation!
In a small dish, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
Use an electric mixer to beat the cream and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Beat until soft peaks form. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, add the apple cider, pumpkin, and spices. Whisk and heat over medium heat until hot.
Once hot, ladle into a heatproof mug. (Optional: At this point, you can add a splash of bourbon, brandy, or apple liqueur if you want to make this a cocktail.)
Top with the cinnamon-spiced whipped cream and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Garnish with apple slices and a cinnamon stick.
