Ingredients
 
 

  • 250 ml Fresh Apple Juice Preferably pressed/cloudy apple juice
  • 150 grams Light brown/Demerara Sugar
  • 57 grams Unsalted Butter Cubed and room temperature*
  • 60 ml Fresh Cream Room temperature*
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon Optional
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Remove the butter and cream from the fridge and let it come to room temperature*
  • Add your apple juice to a small saucepan and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, the juice for around 10 - 12 minutes or until it has reduced to around ¼ cup
  • Add the sugar and stir. Then add the room temperature butter and few cubes at a time, continuously stirring until the butter dissolves. Next add the room temperature cream, cinnamon and salt. Stir until combined. Bring the mixture back up to a boil and cook for around 2 - 3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla
  • Place in an jug or jar and allow to cool before use or storing (covered) in the fridge

Notes

*If the butter and cream are cold when added to the hot liquid the sauce will separate/split. This can also happen when stored in the fridge for a while.
If your sauce does separate, just reheat it gently while stirring or use a hand/stick immersion blender until it combines again.
 
This sauce will keep in an airtight jar or container for at least a week or two in the fridge. Just ensure you have used fresh cream.
