In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and water. Stir gently to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to ensure the sugars dissolve completely.
Once the syrup starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and optional pure maple syrup for added depth of flavor. Mix until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Add the salt and stir one final time. Allow the syrup to cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over your favorite pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving.
