Ingredients
- caramel or salted caramel sauce for rimming the glasses (make your own homemade salted caramel sauce
- 1 gallon apple cider
- McCormick Cinnamon Sticks as desired
- 2 teaspoons McCormick Maple Extract or to taste
- 2 teaspoons McCormick Pure Almond Extract or to taste
- 1 large red apple gala, Fuji, honeycrisp, etc., cored and diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large green apple Granny Smith, etc., cored and diced into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Either make a batch of homemade salted caramel sauce (omit the salt if you want plain caramel sauce) OR use your favorite store bought caramel or salted caramel sauce; set aside.
- To a large stockpot, add the apple cider, and simmer over medium high heat until it's as warm as desired.
- While the cider is simmering, you can either add cinnamon sticks to the batch or add them later to each individual mug which is what I did.
- Add the maple and almond extracts to the cider and stir to combine; set cider aside.
- Rim the top of each mug with a generous portion of caramel sauce (I use a spoon and drizzle it over the top of each rim and do not worry about the excess that drizzles into the mug because it's delicious).
- Add cider to each mug, add cinnamon sticks now to each mug if you didn't already add them to the simmering batch of cider, and add about 3 pieces of both red and green apples to each mug. Serve immediately.
