Equipment

  • sauce pot

Ingredients

  • ½ cup vegan butter or shortening
  • 1 ½ cups cane sugar organic
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 2 tablespoon corn starch
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add the cider and corn starch to a small sauce pot. Stir until mostly dissolved.
  • Turn the heat to high and add in the butter, sugar and vanilla. Constantly stir with a wooden spoon to melt the butter and sugar. Keep stirring until you bring the caramel sauce to a boil. Turn heat down as needed to prevent boiling over. Keep the heat at a medium boil - stirring - for about two to three minutes.
  • Turn the heat off and pour your caramel into a small bowl. Careful, it will be very hot!
  • Cool the caramel in the fridge for at least a half hour before using. This will thicken the caramel. Fully cool for optimal thickness.
