Simple celebrations: St. Teresa of Avila

 Little homemade Caramel Lattes for the kids...

A bigger mug for mama...

 Caramel sauce with apple slices for the kiddos... easy peasy!

No GF apple crisp. : (

Actually, I did make it, but it was terrible. Really awful!

Sean came home with a fever anyway, so he had no interest in apple crisp!

Note to self: never, ever, ever try a recipe that has no reviews.

Homemade Caramel Sauce

1/4 C. butter

1C. brown sugar 

(I used dark brown sugar and mine ended up tasting a little like toffee)

1/2 C. heavy cream

pinch of salt

Melt in a saucepan over medium low heat. 

Cook until thick, about 7 minutes.

Add a teaspoon of vanilla and cook a minute longer.

Caramel Lattes

1 Tbl. brown sugar

1/4 C. half and half

1 Tbl. caramel sauce 

(I used homemade but you can use caramel ice cream topping.)

1 C. hot brewed coffee

Stir brown sugar into half and half until dissolved. 

Whip with a milk frother or a small whisk. Pour coffee in a mug and stir in caramel sauce 

until dissolved. Pour frothed half and half into coffee. Serve.
