Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Once the butter has melted, stir in the maple syrup, heavy cream, and light brown sugar.

Step 3

Add the salt to the mixture and whisk until all the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 4

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
