Notes

To cook on the stove you will add all your ingredients into a saucepan. Then heat on medium-low, and once it begins to simmer, turn the heat down a bit. Let the warm wine mixture simmer for 15 minutes up to 3 hours before you serve. The longer it cooks the more flavor.

Use any of your favorite red wine or even white wine.

The apple slices taste amazing, you might enjoy nibbling on them once done.

Store leftover mulled wine in the fridge for up to three days.

Swap the Brandy with bourbon or another type of liquor. Just ensure you can use that brand of liquor in the Instant Pot.
