Does this recipe use apple cider or apple cider vinegar? Often, I come across recipes that say apple cider but mean the vinegar. I just want to clarify before I go making the wrong dish. I love the combination of the bourbon and brown sugar. I think it is going to taste amazing!

Hi SissieSass, this recipe uses apple cider. Since apple cider is out of season now, apple juice would be a fine substitute. - Natalie, Editor of AllFreeSlowCookerRecipes
