I posted this fall simmer pot on Instagram and had lots of requests for my recipe, so here it is! I love making simmer pots for my house. Besides the fact that they make your entire home smell amazing, you don’t have to worry about any chemicals filling the air. My mom would make these growing up and they are a great alternative to artificial fragrances.
This fall simmer pot is like a warm apple spice scent. We had so many apples from our family apple picking outing that I’ve been looking for different ways to use them. The true test for this sort of thing is when my husband comes home from work. With this one he said “it smells like a candle in here”. That’s always a good sign.
Here is how I made this apple inspired fall simmer pot, enjoy! xx
Ingredients
- 2 Small Apples or 1 Large Apple, Sliced
- 3 Cinnamon Sticks
- 3 Vanilla Beans (or 2 tbsp Vanilla Extract)
- Whole Cloves (I used about 6 or 7)
- Grated Nutmeg (I didn't measure but think I grated about a tsp)
- 1 Pot of Water (more as needed)
Instructions
- Fill a pot with water and add all your ingredients to it. Heat on the stove and bring to a simmer. Leave it there all day and add water as needed (make sure not to forget adding water, or you will scorch your pot!). Leaves your home smelling amazing!

I’ve never heard of simmer pots but will definitely have to try this! My fiance’s sinuses get irritated by some of my candles that I burn so this might be a better alternative!
