Another recipe from Real Mom Kitchen... I am so ready for this! I usually keep all of this on hand anyway.  Today is such a cool day, reminds me of the holidays! Hot Caramel Apple Cider

1. In a large sauce pan, combine the cider, sugar, and caramel topping.
2. Cook over medium low heat until simmering stirring frequently. Simmer until heated and well blended.
