This decadent, creamy homemade salted caramel sauce is easy to make (only about 15 minutes) and takes only 5 ingredients. Perfect poured over ice cream or drizzled over apples! One of the great benefits of making things from scratch is that they taste SO MUCH BETTER than store bought. While I can appreciate a store bought caramel sauce because really, I’m not that picky, I kinda think it tastes a little bit like plastic. Plus, making caramel is an adventure in chemistry that you actually get to eat!

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add sugar, water, and corn syrup to a heavy, medium sized saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until just combined. Stop stirring and allow mixture to boil.
Cook until the mixture turns an amber color, 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully because caramel can go from lovely brown to stinky black in a heartbeat.
Remove from heat and add cream and vanilla (or seeds from 1 vanilla bean). Stir to combine. Be careful because the cream will be inclined to pop and splatter. It may seem like your caramel is siezing up but keep stirring and it will smooth out. Add in sea salt and stir to combine.
Enjoy now or store in a jar in the fridge for 2-3 weeks
