3 Fall Pot Simmers That’ll Make Your Whole House Smell Nice And Cozy

Note: The following content may contain affiliate links. See our full disclosure here.

Autumn leaves, pumpkin spice, and apple cider. These are some of my favorite Fall things. I also love a house that smells like Fall too!

Stovetop simmers are cheap and easy to make, and theyโ€™re a great way to cozy up your house without using plugins or burning a thousand candles. 

After spending several hours in my kitchen, today, Iโ€™m sharing my favorite stovetop simmers thatโ€™ll make your house smell like Fall!

How to Make A Stovetop Simmer

A stovetop simmer is so easy to make youโ€™ll wish youโ€™ve been doing this all year long. Add some simple ingredients to a pot of water or juice and simmer away! 

Bring your ingredients to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. It wonโ€™t be long before the aroma fills up your entire home!

3 Stovetop Simmers for Fall 

Cozy up your home with these Fall combinations! Grab your favorite pot or Dutch Oven (this is the one I have) and start simmering.

Apple Cinnamon Spice

This is my go-to every Sunday! It smells like thereโ€™s an apple pie in the oven.

Ingredients: 

  • 3 cups water, apple juice, or apple cider 
  • 1 apple, sliced thin
  • 3 cinnamon sticks 
  • 1 tbsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp whole cloves 
  • 1 tbsp vanilla

First Day Of Fall

This stovetop simmer is warm, cozy, inviting, and has all the Fall feels. Itโ€™s perfect for every day while youโ€™re cleaning, cooking, or expecting company โ€” they will all think youโ€™re burning a Bath & Body Works candle!

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups water 
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 tbsp whole cloves
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ยฝ tsp nutmeg

Vanilla Pumpkin

I wanted to create a stovetop simmer thatโ€™s a little more traditional for Fall. This Vanilla Pumpkin combination is just that! Although, itโ€™s not as visually appealing as the other two simmers, it smells like fresh pumpkin donuts โ€” just please donโ€™t eat it!

Ingredients: 

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 ยฝ tbsp pumpkin spice 
  • 1 tbsp nutmeg
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tbsp vanilla 
  • 2 tbsp whole cloves 

Save on Pinterest!

I have to say, First Day Of Fall is my favorite simmer!!! The best part about these stovetop simmers is that you can use them over several days! Just refill your pot with water in the morning and throughout the day as needed. 

Are you going to try any of these potpourri recipes this Fall? Share yours with me on Instagram!
