Can you use apple cider instead of apple cider vinegar?

From what I have read, no. I can't say that I have ever tried it, but it makes sense that no you cannot as they are two totally different tastes. I am making my own boiled Apple cider tonight as I can't buy it locally so if I remember I will give an update as to how hard it is and the results. I will likely buy a bottle of the real stuff to compare it against but I wanted to make a pie tonight and figured I would go ahead and give it a try.
