Make apple cider caramel sauce in 10 minutes: cider, sugar & warm spices reduced, then finished with cream, butter, vanilla, and sea salt!

Total Time: 15 minutes mins
In a heavy saucepan, combine the 1 cup apple cider, 1 cup sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a very low boil, swirling the saucepan gently, but not stirring. Simmer until the mixture is syrupy and a deep caramel color, about 5-10 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the 1/2 cup heavy whipped cream and 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, being mindful that the mixture will spit and sizzle, so be careful. Whisky vigorously until it reaches a smooth, sticky consistency. Finally, whisk in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt. Set aside to cool.
