In a medium saucepan, pour the apple cider and heat it over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
While the cider is heating, add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the saucepan.
Stir the mixture continuously until the butter and sugar have completely melted and all ingredients are well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture warm for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Taste the cider and adjust the sweetness or spices if needed by adding more brown sugar or cinnamon, as per your preference.
Once the cider is warm and fragrant, remove the saucepan from heat and carefully ladle the buttered cider into mugs.
If desired, top each mug with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a cinnamon stick for an extra touch of warmth and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy the cozy, buttery apple drink with family or friends.
