Family Fun's Caramel Apple Cider
To make the cider you need:
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 cups apple cider
1/2 cup water

For the Whipped Cream Topping (a 95% must have) you need:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Directions: Cider:
Combine cream and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the cider and water, stir, and raise the heat to medium-high. Heat only until the cider starts to steam (about 4 minutes), stirring almost continually.

Prepare the whipped cream.

Directions: Whipped Cream:
Chill a bowl and beaters for easier whipping. Whip the heavy cream and brown sugar together until soft peaks form.

That's it. You're done. Caramel Apple Cider only tastes like it took you hours to prepare.

Okay, you're not completely finished; you have to pour or ladle the Caramel Apple Cider into mugs and top each mug with about 2 tablespoons of whipped cream. Actually, I prefer the one tablespoon for you, three for me serving ratio.
