    Salted Cider Caramel Drizzle

      Directions:

      • Heat the sugar and water in a saucepan over a medium heat, stirring gently until it bubbles and the sugar dissolves.
      • Add the cider, and without stirring, boil the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until it is a golden color. If necessary, scrape the sides down with a rubber spatula, but don't stir.
      • Remove from the heat and stir the cream into the sauce until combined. Be careful, it will bubble up considerably.
      • Stir in the salt.
      • Pour into a jar and allow to cool.
      • Drizzle the cooled salted cider caramel over the cake and serve.
