  • 4 cups apple cider
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzle garnish on top
  • 1/8 cup heavy whipping cream

Garnishes

  • 1 can of whipped topping
  • Ground cinnamon, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat the apple cider. Pour 4 cups of apple cider into a medium saucepan and warm over medium heat until hot but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.

  • This drink is best enjoyed warm and fresh.
  • Can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
