It's the time of year I love. The air is brisk and the leaves are starting to turn. Perfect for enjoying a hot cup of Apple Cider. Apple cider is one of my favorite fall drinks. It is warm and comforting.
Apple cider is heated with a 3-inch stick of cinnamon in a saucepan. Some caramel sauce is stirred into the cider. Mmm. Next, some whipped cream and salt are beat together until soft peaks form. Then caramel sauce is stirred into the whipped cream. I could have sat down and just ate the bowl of whipped cream. The whipped cream adds extra flavor to this hot cup of cider.
Ladle the hot apple cider in a mug and top with a dollop of the whipped cream. If you wish drizzle some more caramel sauce on top. In my book you can never have too much caramel.
A wonderful fall beverage to enjoy and share with your loved ones:)
