Apple Cider Creme Caramels are a luxurious, creamy dessert that combines the sweetness of apple cider with the creaminess of coconut milk and the soothing warmth of gingerroot. This dessert is perfect for fall or winter gatherings, where the rich flavors of caramel and apple can be savored with friends and family.

Instructions

3.In another saucepan, combine heavy cream and water. Heat at low temperature until warm.
4.In a medium-size pot, mix sugar, corn syrup, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Place over medium heat and cook until the sugar is dissolved.
5.Increase the heat to high and cook until the mixture turns golden brown, approximately 10-15 minutes.
6.Remove from heat and stir in butter cubes, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth.
7.Pour the caramel mixture into the bowl of apple cider, whisk until the caramel completely dissolves. Transfer to a prepared 8-inch non-stick pan.
8.Let the mixture rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
9.Once the mixture is set, slice it into small squares and serve.

PROS

The complexity of the caramel is heightened by the addition of maple syrup, brown sugar, and apple pie spice.

CONS

The high concentration of sugar, butter, and corn syrup makes this dessert rich in calories and not suitable for individuals with diabetes or other health issues.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Although Apple Cider Creme Caramels are not a health food, the gingerol in gingerroot is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and may help to relieve nausea and muscle soreness. The antioxidants in apple cider may also help boost immunity and reduce the risk of chronic diseases when consumed in moderation.
