Drizzle a generous swirl of caramel around the inside of two tall serving glasses to create a pretty ribbon when you pour.
Drop 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into each glass, coaxing them to float and mingle with the caramel-coated glass edges.
Pour chilled apple cider over the ice cream slowly, watching it fizz and foam as the flavors blend. Fill to just below the rim for a graceful float.
Sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon and a pinch of salt over the tops, then drizzle a little more caramel across the surface for a glossy finish.
Finish with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick for that picture-perfect, cozy finish.
Notes
