Ingredients
- FOR THE CINNAMON SIMPLE SYRUP:
- 1 cup Water
- ¾ cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- FOR THE SPICED WHIPPED CREAM:
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- ¾ cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- FOR THE CARAMEL APPLE CIDER:
- 10 ounces, fluid Apple Cider
- 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon Simple Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons Spiced Whipped Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Your Favorite Caramel Sauce
Preparation
For the cinnamon simple syrup:
In a small pot over medium-high heat, bring water and sugar to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 minutes. Add the cinnamon and simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove pot from the heat and allow the syrup to cool then transfer it to a squeeze bottle. Store in the refrigerator.
For the spiced whipped cream:
Whip all of the spiced whipped cream ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. This should stay good for about a week, and will do wonders for your morning coffee.
For the caramel apple cider:
If you’re making just one cup, it’s easiest to microwave the cider and the cinnamon syrup together in a mug. Just microwave for 1-2 minutes until it reaches your desired temperature. To make enough for a fall party, simply multiply the cider ingredients by how many people you are hosting. Top each drink with a dollop of spiced whipped cream and drizzle with your favorite caramel sauce.
