How to Make Hot Caramel Apple Cider

  1. In a saucepan, combine 4 cups apple cider and 2 tablespoons mulling spices (or 2 cinnamon sticks). Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Bring the cider to a simmer (do not boil). Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
  3. While the cider simmers, prepare the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Pour the warm cider into mugs.
  5. Top each mug with 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade).
  6. Dollop a generous spoonful of whipped cream onto each mug.
  7. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
