Recipe type: Sauce, Dessert
Yield: 8-9 fl oz (1 generous cup)
Ingredients
  • 16 fl oz (2 cups) fresh apple cider
  • 135 g (1 cup) coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 4 fl oz (½ cup) full-fat heavy cream
  • 42 g (3 Tbsp) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla paste or extract
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
Procedure
  1. Simmer cider in a 3-qt. saucepan over medium heat for 25-30 minutes until reduced to ½ cup for a thinner sauce, or ⅓ cup for a thicker sauce.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Increase heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bits of thickened sauce cling to the whisk when you pull it out of the pan. Please don’t wander too far from the stove while the sauce is simmering. If it gets too hot and bubbles over, that's a dangerous and sticky mess to clean up.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat, whisk in vanilla and salt, and set aside to cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
  4. Transfer sauce to a jar and store in the refrigerator. If it's super thick when you go to use it, scoop out the amount you want and warm it briefly on the stove or in the microwave to liquefy.
