Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a standard size loaf pan with parchment paper on all sides. Set aside.
- Pour the apple cider in a heavy bottom medium size pot and bring to boil. Reduce to a simmer, stirring every few minutes or so until reduced to about 1/4 cup and is thick and syrupy. This took about 45 minutes for us!
- Remove from the heat and add the butter, cream, and sugars.
- Place back over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Boil until the mixture reaches 252°F. Do not stir while it is boiling.
- Remove from the heat and use a rubber spatula to mix in the cinnamon and salt, folding the caramel until it is smooth and creamy and no longer bubbling.
- Pour the caramel into your prepared pan. Place in the fridge to set for about an hour.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and use a very sharp knife to cut into
