  • Total Time: 5
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Scale

12 ounces apple juice or unfiltered apple cider
1 tablespoon homemade cinnamon syrup
Fresh whipped cream as needed
1 tablespoon caramel sauce

Instructions

Bring the apple juice or cider to a low simmer in a small pot over medium heat or warm in the microwave until hot.
Pour the warmed juice into a large serving mug.
Stir in the cinnamon syrup until well combined.
Top with a generous dollop of chilled whipped cream.
Drizzle the whipped cream with the caramel sauce.
Serve warm immediately.

Notes

Use unfiltered apple cider for a cloudier, more robust fruit flavor. For large batches, combine ingredients in a slow cooker and keep on low, setting out toppings for guests to dress their own drinks. Ensure the whipped cream remains chilled so it holds its shape when added to the hot cider.
