Prepare the Ingredients

1. Measure and gather all ingredients: apple cider, lemon juice, orange juice, red hots candy, orange slices, and cinnamon sticks.

Combine Ingredients in the Slow Cooker

1. Pour the apple cider, lemon juice, orange juice, red hots candy, and cinnamon sticks into a 6-quart slow cooker.
2. Do not add the orange slices at this stage.

Cook the Cider

1. Set the slow cooker to high heat.
2. Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to help the red hots melt and blend with the liquids.

Add the Orange Slices

1. 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, add the fresh orange slices to the slow cooker.
2. Allow the cider to finish cooking, letting the orange slices infuse their flavor into the cider.

Serve the Cider

1. Using a ladle, pour the warm cider into large cups or mugs.
2. For an extra festive touch, add a fresh cinnamon stick to each serving, if desired.
3. Enjoy your warm, spiced Red Hots Apple Cider!
