Apple cider float in a mason jar with caramel sauce.

This is the perfect recipe to bridge the gap between summer and fall! The ice cream gives a hint of summer and the apple cider tastes like fall. My apple pie ice cream is perfect for this time of year, too!

You only need three basic ingredients (four if you add whipped cream)!

Vanilla ice cream
Sparkling apple cider
Salted caramel (I use store bought)

This “recipe” couldn’t be simpler. You are pretty much just assembling: scoop, drizzle, pour, swirl. You can handle that, right?
