Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce
This Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce is kinda dangerous. Since I made it, I think I have put it on literally everything I’ve eaten! It’s that good! It’s actually the star of the Caramel Apple Mug Cake I made for lunch last weekend!
I was really amazed how well it turned out, it tasted even better than caramel sauce I have bought at the store in the past! I knew I was going to make a ton of apple and pumpkin recipes the next few weeks and caramel is just perfect on any of those desserts! There is even a sneak peek below of my Pumpkin Spice Latte Mug Cake that I just had to share in this post because it really showed off the caramel so nicely! Make sure to check that post out later this week!
I think an amazing snack would be slices of an apple dipped in this sauce. It would be great to send for school lunches or as an after school snack! What’s not to love about caramel and apples together?!

Notes on salted caramel sauce recipe
Want a deeper flavor? Cook a little bit longer, closer to 15 minutes. Make sure to stir it and keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
