Apple Pie Potpourri (Non-Food) image

When peeling apples for cooking/baking/snacking, don't discard the peels. Instead, multi-purpose them to make this aromatic potpourri that smells like a freshly-baked apple pie. Use it as a real estate selling tactic, to set the mood for a party or simply for your own enjoyment. It's easy to make and all-natural.

Time 8h5m

Yield 1 crock pot

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 -4 apples, peels of
3 cloves, whole (or 1/8 tsp. ground)
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground (or 1 cinnamon stick)
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, ground (or freshly ground)
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Into a small crock pot, place apple peels, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Pour water over all.
  • Set on low heat for the entire day, checking the water level periodically to prevent burning.
  • You can even enjoy it for one more day if you like. Just place the cooled mixture into a container, refrigerate and reheat another day (which is what I do often).
