Ingredients:
Unfiltered Apple juice
Amaretto
Caramel sauce (see recipe below)
Apple slices
In small sauce pan on stove top add 1 cup unfiltered apple juice with 2 tablespoons caramel sauce. Continually stir on medium-low until hot. Add ¼ cup of Amaretto into a mug and pour heated apple juice mixture over. Floating thin slices of apple add garnish.
Caramel sauce:
Of course, you can purchase a quality sauce or make a simple traditional sauce of sugar, butter and cream. However, I prefer one made with turbinado sugar, earth balance and coconut milk. Combine 3/4 cup turbinado (raw) sugar with 1/4 cup water in medium saucepan so there is an even layer of wet crystals. Let cook without stirring on medium-high heat until it bubbles, darkens in color and all crystals have dissolved (around 3 minutes). Add 5 tbs earth balance and stir. Remove from heat and pour in 1/3 cup coconut milk. Makes about a cup.
