    A well-made caramel sauce adds a lot of extra amazing flavor to any baked goods, ice cream, or even just fruits like apples.

    The caramel sauce has a few simple ingredients, however, what makes a good caramel sauce is the right ratio of ingredients as well as some patience.

    Ingredients

    • The main ingredient is granulated Sugar, which is cooked to the point that is browned and caramelized.
    • Water is the other component that liquefies the sugar and prevents it from crystallization.
    • What makes the caramel sauce so creamy and rich is the Butter. Butter adds flavor, fat, and smoothness to the sauce.
    • Heavy Cream is the other fatty component of this delicious sauce. Heavy cream also plays a big role in creating smooth and creamy caramel sauce.
    • What is any baking item without some Vanilla extract and Salt? We add vanilla extract for the aroma and salt to bring all those flours out and create a harmonious taste!

    How To Make Caramel Sauce

    • Add the water to the sugar in a saucepan. Do not stir the mixture, and only swirl the pan to cover the sugar with the water.
    • Place the pan on medium to high heat and let the sugar cook. It will start to bubble. If the mixture starts to crystalize, do not panic. Wet a baking brush and run it around the edge of the sugar. This will add a little bit of water to the mixture and prevents sugar crystals from forming. See the below pictures.

    • Mixture will start to change color, from a soft yellow to an amber color. Once the mixture has a honey color, keep an eye on it, because from this stage forward, it will burn very easily.
