I have been dying to make some delish caramel sauce all. year. long. And it’s finally (!!) the season for both caramel sauce and apple cider. And the only way I can ensure that I get enough of both is to combine the two. In the words of the famous Uncle Jessie,“Have mmmercyyy” . Things are absolutely about to get sticky, buttery, salty, sweet, and incredibly fall perfect up in here. What are the benefits of making your own apple cider caramel sauce you ask? Well let me tell you: 1.) The house does this wonderful thing where it smells totally amazeballs because of the sheer amount of delish sugar and cinammon and butter and apple cider that goes into this recipe. 2.) Caramel sauce is available to you 24 hours a day from the time you make it till the time you literally lick the mason jar clean. Yes, it’s that gosh darn good. 3.) It’s the ideal topping for, um lets see, EVERYTHING. Drizzle it on shortbread cookies, a dip for apples, garnish cupcakes, pumpkin spice lattes, and even as sauce for your cinnamon french toast or buttermilk pancakes! That drizzle of caramel sauce that’s dripping off that spoon, makes me want to stick my face underneath it and just ladle it directly into my mouth. TMI? I think so. This recipe is really quite simple and requires only a few ingredients. There is no need for a fancy schmany candy thermometer or anything else. All you need other than the ingredients is a spatula or spoon and a small saucepan. It takes about 15 minutes to make the recipe itself but make sure to allow enough time for cooling. The sauce will look just a littttttle thin when you’re done cooking it, but worry not, it will thicken while it cools. And the most important reason why you need to make this: It’s literally like taking the liquid form of a caramel apple and drizzling it over your breakfast (pancakes, french toast, cinnamon rolls) or your dessert (cupcakes, cookies, apples). Who wouldn’t like that? And Oh My G, how did I not think of this earlier – this apple cider caramel sauce would be amazing drizzled on popcorn too!
