Ingredients:  
2 qts apple juice or apple cider
1 qt cranberry juice cocktail
1/4 c firmly packed dark brown sugar
27 whole cloves
15 allspice berries
4 4-inch cinnamon sticks
5 small firm cooking apples of your choice

Directions:
Directions:
Combine the apple juice, cranberry juice, and brown sugar in a 6-quart slow cooker. Place 12 of the cloves, the allspice berries, and the cinnamon sticks in a small piece of cheesecloth and tie with kitchen twine to make a bag. Add to the slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Stud each apple with 3 of the
remaining cloves and place in an 8-by-8-inch baking pan. Add the water and bake until the apples are just a bit tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. After the juices have stewed for 4 to 5 hours, add the apples to the slow cooker. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the orange peel in wide strips, making sure to avoid the white pith, and add to the slow cooker. Remove the spice bag and stir in the Calvados. Serve hot (leave the slow cooker on to keep the cocktail warm).
