Salted caramel sauce…
sounds fancy doesn’t it?
I thought so too.
It’s September, Fall is on it’s way, and here in my neck of the woods that means Apple Hill season.
I love apples, but I prefer my apples with caramel, pretty much the same way I prefer my chocolate with peanut butter.
They just go together.
I’ve made caramel before {recipe here}
but salted caramel seems to be the “it” girl.
There must be something more than just salt in caramel, right?
~ but NO
It’s just that simple,
so now we know:)
If you haven’t made caramel, you do not know what you are missing.
Salted Caramel Sauce:
1 cup of sugar
6 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup of cream
1/2 tablespoon of fleur de sel (any coarse sea salt will be fine)
In a saucepan over med-high heat the sugar
first it will clump together, and then it will begin to bubble and melt
stir OFTEN
when it is melted and golden in color (do not to burn)
add the butter all at once
this will sputter so be careful
when the butter is melted add the cream and stir well
finally, off heat add in the salt
let cool a bit and then pour into a jar with a tight fitting lid
I could eat it as is, but I’ve got BIG plans for this sauce…
Enjoy!

I’m literally drooling. Caramel is good in desserts and on sundaes, sure, but I prefer it best on my spoon!
I could not agree more:)
I need to try this. I bought special salt a long time ago…and never used it!!!
funny – me too
I really want to make my own salted caramel and this recipe is perfect. Pinning for future use!
I would love for you to share this with my readers at Mealtime Monday!

Oh I’m totally on the salted caramel train. Or, rather, salted anything train! I came over from NapTime creations link up, I’m excited to see more of your creations.
What a delicious sweet and salty sauce!
Hmmmm, this looks delicious!

So easy and mouth-watering! I’m doing it. Thanks -
Hey! I made this sauce and LOVE it! I was thinking for making it for Christmas gifts, do you know how long it would last in the fridge?
In a glass jar it will keep for a LONG time – as long as its sealed and mold isn’t growing on the top it will be fine. We’ve had it far at least a month and it still tastes great
I’m making this tonight for sure! This looks amazing. I can’t wait to go to Apple Hill too. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Okay I know this is a dumb question but I am new to baking…Do I use granulated Sugar or brown sugar? Was that whipping cream you used? This does look delicious, I hope mine turns out as great as yours!
salted caramel is one of my favorite things ever! I actually memorized my recipe because i’ve given it out so much! love love love
