Homemade Caramel

Rich, buttery, and deeply indulgent — this small-batch caramel sauce comes together with just five simple ingredients. Brown sugar gives it a warm, molasses-kissed depth, while a touch of vanilla and a pinch of salt round out every spoonful. Silky smooth and perfect for drizzling over desserts, dipping apples, or spooning straight from the jar. Once you try homemade, you'll never go back to store-bought.

Rich, buttery, and deeply indulgent — this small-batch caramel sauce comes together with just five simple ingredients. Brown sugar gives it a warm, molasses-kissed depth, while a touch of vanilla and a pinch of salt round out every spoonful. Silky smooth and perfect for drizzling over desserts, dipping apples, or spooning straight from the jar. Once you try homemade, you'll never go back to store-bought.

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 c heavy whipping cream
• 1 c brown sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, and salt. Place over medium heat and stir continuously for 5–7 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the butter and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and fully incorporated.
3. Let the sauce cool, then transfer it to a glass jar with a lid. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
