I just made my first batch of cider and I was thinking about back sweetening if it's too dry for my liking. What are some good ways to keep the apple flavor strong and make it sweeter once it's done fermenting?

Frozen concentrate, or the same juice, or xylitol seem to be the most popular ways to to get sweetness back. Though keep in mind that the first two would cause the cider to begin fermenting again, which is why xylitol (an unfermentable sugar) is used. If you wanted to use one of the first two, then you will need to become familiar with bottle pasteurization which can be found in the sticky at the top of this cider forum.
