This delicious caramel sauce is kissed with apple cider. You are not going to believe the flavor it gives. Perfect for drizzling over cake, ice cream, waffles, apples or eaten off a spoon!
In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan, bring the apple cider to a low boil. Keeping an eye on it to be sure it doesn't burn, reduce down to 1/4 cup.
Stir in butter until melted. Incorporate the brown sugar, cream and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Allow mixture to cool then transfer to serving vessel or storage container.
This caramel will keep well in the refrigerator and will be a thick dipping consistency when cold. At room temperature it is more of a glazing or drizzling consistency.
