Apple Chai Caramels and Caramel Sauce
Have you tried the delicious combination of apple cider and chai spices? My daughter introduced me to the Chaider beverage years ago and I fell in love with this fall flavor combination. At this hands-on class, you will enjoy making soft, chewy caramels flavored with apple cider, dried apples and warm chai spices. Apple Chai Caramel Sauce is a delicious topping, perfect for drizzling over a slice of apple pie or as a dip for apple slices. These two recipes are a great addition for fall baking!
