Toast the spices, if desired
Place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. If using a covered casserole dish that isn't heatproof, use a medium saute pan. Add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice and star anise. Stir with a wooden spoon or swirl and shake the pan constantly to toast the spices until they are fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Quickly remove the pot from the heat.

Taste, adjust sweetness and serve
Remove the cider from the June Oven and uncover. If desired, add brown sugar by the tablespoonful to taste, stirring well and tasting after each addition. If desired, use a slotted spoon or strainer to remove the spices and orange from the mulled cider. Ladle the cider into mugs and garnish with cinnamon sticks and apple slices. Cover and keep the cider warm with the Keep Warm cook mode.
