Ingredients

  • 2 cups apple cider
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan, bring the 2 cups apple cider to a low boil. Keeping an eye on it to be sure it doesn't burn, reduce down to ¼ cup.
  • Stir in ½ cup unsalted butter until melted. Incorporate the 1 cup light brown sugar, ¾ cup heavy cream and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. 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.
