Make sure champagne and apple cider are chilled.

Pour caramel into a small shallow bowl (so you can dip glasses—it will bubble up when dipped, so make sure you leave room for that). Take champagne flutes and dip them in the caramel sauce, letting excess run off before flipping them over.

Fill each flute halfway with apple cider, then the other half with brut (be careful, it bubbles up!). Once each glass is filled, garnish with apple slices on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy!
