6-Minute Small Batch Salted Caramel Sauce

Fall is one of my favorite times of year – and the food that comes with it. We always attend the local Apple Festivals, and my favorite thing to eat with those juicy apples is some delicious salted caramel sauce. Wayy better than that stuff you pick up in the store – and also super easy. 6-minutes and you have yourself a delicious snack!

Notes: This sauce will burn easily if not consistently whisked. Do not leave unattended while cooking. The sauce will thicken as it cools. It is perfect for dipping apples, pouring over warm apple desserts, ice cream, or using in various fall recipes that call for caramel.
