Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (99 grams)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (56.6 grams)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (118.3 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon table salt

Instructions

  • Add the sugar to a small sauce pan, creating an even layer over the bottom of the pan. Place it over medium heat and cook until it begins to melt, stirring consistently.
    1 cup granulated sugar
  • The sugar will first begin to clump together, then it will begin to turn brown, and finally it will melt into a brown liquid. This whole process will take about five to seven minutes. Remember to keep stirring so that the sugar does not burn.
  • Remove the sugar liquid from the stove. Quickly stir in the butter. It will bubble a lot. Continue stirring until the butter is melted.
    4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Then quickly stir in the heavy cream. The liquid will again begin to bubble. This is fine. Continue stirring until it is totally incorporated.
    1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Finally, stir in the salt and the vanilla. The sauce will thicken as it sits. Serve with Granny Smith apples, their tartness is the perfect balance to the sweet sauce.
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon table salt
