Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until combined. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble and the sugar dissolves.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuously stirring. Be cautious, as the mixture may bubble up when the cream is added.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and takes on a glossy appearance. Be careful not to let it burn.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Let the caramel dip cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve the warm caramel dip with freshly sliced apples and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
