Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully liquid and bubbling gently.
Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly pour in the heavy cream. Be careful as the mixture may bubble up slightly.
Continue to whisk until the cream is fully incorporated, and the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Taste the sauce and adjust the salt if needed to balance sweetness.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Drizzle the warm cinnamon sauce over slices of apple pie and enjoy!
