Don’t you love the smell of fall? The crisp and sharp tones from the leaves and trees, the scent of pumpkin spice everywhere, and the sweetness from caramel apples are some of the most beloved scents tied to this season. These bring back memories of celebration and comfort. You can light up a candle, but nothing beats a fall simmer pot filled with apples, oranges, and spices. It fills your space with this delicious, cozy aroma that you will absolutely love.
TikToker elysian.living shared a video on the platform showing how to make a fall simmer pot to make your house smell amazing this season. Her video received tons of likes and comments from users saying, “I love this idea.”As of writing, it has about 10.5 million views.
Victoria started by placing a deep pot on her stove and filling it with water. She then got her cutting board and knife to prepare the fruits. She cut an apple and orange into thin slices and then placed them on the cutting board.
Next, she brought out the spices – two cinnamon sticks, four pieces of star anise, and 1/2 tablespoon of cloves.

She added all the fruit slices and spices into the pot filled with water, then turned the heat on low. Of course, she also poured some vanilla extract for that sweet and nutty scent.
Victoria placed the lid on the pot and let it come to a boil. The water will turn brown as the spices and fruits heat up. Now, uncover the pot and let it simmer. It will make your house smell amazing. How easy is that, right?
One user commented, “You can put these same ingredients into a small crockpot. They have cute ones like Disney, Pixar, etc. They’re cute, inexpensive, cool, and simmer. Win-win”.
