This easy Apple Cider Caramel Sauce is a great topping for any Fall dessert! Made with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and a touch of vanilla, it’s totally delicious.
Apple Cider Caramel Sauce is fall in a jar…I dare you not to eat this creamy rich butterscotch with a spoon!
So caramel sauce happens to be one of my most favorite things. I have an epic Salted Caramel Sauce recipe in my book. I’ve made Microwave Caramel Sauce when you’re in a super hurry. I’ve also got Pumpkin Spice Caramel Sauce for all you basics out there.
And today we’re talking about Apple Cider Caramel Sauce…which dare I say might be my most favorite yet. It’s actually an Apple Cider Butterscotch sauce if you’re getting technical. I used brown sugar in this recipe instead of granulated. It was a good choice indeed.
Reducing apple cider in this recipe as the base adds a ton of sweet apple flavor.
Of course there is butter involved. I wish I was sorry…
How to Make this Homemade Apple Cider Caramel Sauce
The sauce comes together in just a few minutes with the butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. You can use it immediately, or save it for later…on ice cream, in your coffee, drizzled on your arm…
There is nothing not to like here.
Also, dipping homemade apple chips into apple cider caramel is out of control. Highly recommend.
