Servings: 1.5 cups
Author: Gemma Stafford
Ingredients
  • 2 cups (16 fl oz/480 ml) apple cider
  • cups (7½ oz/213 g) dark brown sugar
  • 5 tablespoons (2½ oz/71 g) butter
  • ¾ cup (6 fl oz/180 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Bring the apple cider to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Let it cook down for 10-12 minutes, until it is reduced to ⅓ cup (2½ fl oz/75 ml).
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the brown sugar, butter, cream, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Continue to cook for 6-8 minutes, until the caramel thickens and starts to become dark in color.
  4. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container.
  5. Serve over ice cream, an apple crisp, or a slice of fall pie. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
