Combine your ingredients in a stockpot. Add the apples, oranges, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and anise to a large stockpot. Cover with water, leaving about an inch or two of space at the top of the stockpot.
Simmer. Heat the cider over high heat until it reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the apples are completely soft.
Mash the apples and oranges. Using a potato masher or a wooden spoon, take a minute to mash all of the apples and oranges against the side of the stockpot to release more of their flavors. Then cover and simmer for 1 more hour.
