Nothing says fall like apple cider. I love curling up with a book in my favorite chair with a hot, steamy mug apple cider spiked with homemade caramel and cinnamon. It also makes a great warm drink for holiday parties.
Caramel Apple Cider
1 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon caramel sauce
1 cinnamon stick
Warm the cider with the cinnamon stick to steep. Add the caramel sauce and stir.
Caramel Sauce
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 cup cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt the sugar in a saucepan with the water until it starts to turn light brown. Carefully pour in the cream, it will bubble a lot. Add the vanilla and carefully stir. Allow to cool a little before pouring off into a container. It will last for a couple weeks in the fridge.
Wonderful, you are so right, nothing speaks of fall and winter better than hot apple cider. I have been looking for a recipe for caramel sauce, thank you for posting this,
seems an obvious combination, but never occurred to me! Thinking today’s a good day for a mug of your lovely cider:-)
this looks so good! so perfect for those cold winter days – so making this in winter!
MMMMMM! I just decorated up our Christmas tree & this is one lovely drink to enjoy afterwards, I guess! MMMMMMMM!
