Ingredients
- 14 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons apple cider
- Sea Salt, to top
Directions
- In a heavy bottomed pot, such as enameled cast iron, combine all caramel topping ingredients save for the cider. Bring to a boil and stir until sugars are dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Using a candy thermometer, watch for the goal of about 230 degrees. Without a thermometer, watch for a rich caramel color – about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in cider. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then pour into an 8 × 8 silicone pan or a regular pan lined with parchment. Refrigerate for several hours.
- Once chilled, sprinkle with sea salt and cut into small squares or rectangles. Wrap immediately in wax or parchment paper.
