Louisburg Cider Mill

 

All the flavors of fall mixed into one cake, from the pumpkin butter in the mix, apple butter in the frosting, and the caramel sauce drizzled over the top.

INGREDIENTS:

APPLE CIDER CARAMEL SAUCE

• 2 C. Louisburg Cider Mill Apple Cider

• 1 C. Brown Sugar, packed

• 1/3 C. Heavy Cream

• 1/2 tsp. Vanilla

• 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt

CARAMEL APPLE CHUNKS

• 3 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter

• 3 Apples, peeled, cored and diced into 1/2 inch chunks

• 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

• 1 Tbsp. Sugar

• Pinch of Kosher Salt

• 1/2 C. Louisburg Apple Cider Caramel Sauce

CARAMEL APPLE NO-CHURN ICE CREAM

• 14 oz. can Sweetened Condensed Milk

• 1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract

• 1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon

• 2 C. Heavy Cream

• Caramel Apple chunks

INSTRUCTIONS:

Apple Cider Caramel Sauce: First, heat the apple cider in a saucepan set over high heat until reduced to a 1/2 cup. Next, add the brown sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Finally, add the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt and cook until it reaches 250º on a candy thermometer. Makes 1 cup of caramel sauce. You’ll need a 1/2 cup for the apples. Reserve 1/2 cup for serving. The caramel sauce can be stored in the refrigerator and gently warmed for serving.

Caramel Apple Chunks: Secondly, heat the butter over medium heat, until just golden brown with a slightly nutty aroma (foam will subside and you’ll see little brown flecks). Then, add the apples, cinnamon, sugar, and pinch of salt. Cook until softened, but not mushy. The apples should just begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Last, stir in half a cup caramel sauce and cool to room temperature.

Ice Cream: Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream until you have stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Scrape 1/3 of the ice cream into a loaf pan and swirl 1/3 of the caramel apple mixture over the top. Repeat two more times, finishing with the apples. Last, cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 5 hours. Serve with warmed, reserved caramel sauce.

In another medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, root beer, eggs, root beer extract/concentrate, and butter extract. With the mixer on low, slowly pour the mixture into dry ingredients. Finally, turn the mixer to medium and beat until incorporated; about 1 minute. Last, wipe down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and stir to mix.

Finally, spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons of cake batter into each cupcake. Carefully drop muffin tin pan against countertop to rid batter of air bubbles.

Bake in the oven for 27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool.

To make the frosting: In a bowl fit with a mixer, beat butter, powdered confectioner’s sugar, salt, and root beer flavoring. Once smooth, turn the mixer up to medium and beat in chunks of cream cheese and shortening, mix frosting until smooth.
