Salted Apple Cider Caramel Sauce

Apple Cider caramel sauce is bursting with apple flavor and creamy buttery caramel. Perfect addition to all your fall desserts.

Ingredients

• Apple Cider – look for a locally made cider for best results
• Brown Sugar – most caramels use white sugar, but using brown sugar for a little bit of a butterscotch flavor
• Butter and Heavy Cream – together these give the sauce a creamy pourable texture
• Cinnamon and Vanilla Extract – adds a little but more warm and flavor to the caramel
• Flakey Salt – I love to use maldon flakey salt (affiliate link), you can skip this if you don’t want salty flavor

How to make Apple Cider Caramel Sauce

• Add apple cider to a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Simmer until apple cider has reduced by half. This could take 10-20 minutes depending on the size of your sauce pan.
• Add in brown sugar and butter mix until butter has melted. Bring to a simmer and add in heavy cream and cinnamon. Bring to simmer for 5 more minutes stirring frequently.
• Add in vanilla extract and flakey salt. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
• Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
