Step 1
Warm 1/4 cup of cream and 1/4 cup of brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally until it just starts to boil. Then, turn the heat up to medium-high and add the apple cider along with the water. Let everything cook together until it begins to simmer, which should take about 4 minutes.
Step 2
While that’s happening, grab a bowl and beat 1/2 cup of cream with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar until soft peaks form. You’ll know it’s ready when you lift your whisk or mixer and the cream holds gentle little mounds instead of sharp points.
Step 3
Pour the warm cider into mugs, then spoon a generous dollop of the caramel whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
Serving Style Ideas
Serve warm in mugs with a cinnamon stick or a slice of apple for garnish. It pairs wonderfully with baked goods like muffins or cinnamon rolls for a delightful autumn snack.
Freezing Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain smooth texture.
