Today we are making one of the easiest and most delicious things you can keep in your fridge.

And what I love most about this is it's foolproof.

No candy thermometer, no stress, and it turns out perfect every time.

And wait until you see the taste test because you are gonna crave it and I'm craving caramel sauce.

In a heavy bottom medium saucepan, combine your sugar and water.

Using a spatula, stir until the sugar is combined with the water.

Then set the pan over medium low heat and stir just until it melts.

Make sure to avoid high heat or it can crystallize.

Once the mixture turns clear and starts to simmer, stop stirring and swirl the pan occasionally until the mixture is completely liquid and very light amber in color.

Towards the end, you'll notice as you keep swirling that those bits of sugar stuck to the side of the pan will melt into the sauce.

Do not let the mixture brown too much or it'll taste bitter.

Once you see it starting to get color, reduce the heat to low and add in half your butter at a time, whisking until fully incorporated.

The mixture will bubble vigorously and that's normal.

If it separates, take it off the heat and whisk until it comes back together.

Next, gradually whisk in your warm cream.

It will bubble up and steam, but keep whisking until it's completely smooth.

If you want to double check with a thermometer, the caramel is done.

Take take it off the heat and stir in your vanilla and salt.

It is thick, glossy and just the right drizzling consistency.

Also keep in mind that as this cools, it will thicken up a lot.

So if you want it thicker, like for dipping caramel apples, which you totally could, just let it sit and cool down a little bit.

And it keeps well in the fridge for like two weeks.

Oh, thick, buttery, and it has that rich caramel aroma.

And you can use this on so many different desserts.

You can drizzle it over ice cream, drizzle it over your coffee, put it onto cheesecake, all kinds of cakes, cupcakes, cookies.

It puts every store bought version to shame.

You're never gonna want store bought again.

Hopefully we don't overflow this jar and here's what I mean by it puts store bought versions to shame.

This is the best one that I could find at my local grocery store.

And then you look at the ingredients, and the first ingredient says corn syrup.

And then it has natural flavor, which we're not sure what that is, so.

It's still a little bit hot, but I think we can do a taste test, right?

And I've got apples here from my mom's yard.

I feel like this is the best after school snack.

My daughter loves enjoying homemade caramel sauce this way.

Just gonna slice up this beauty right from my mom's trees and your dad's trees and my mom's and dad's trees.

You don't have to unwrap those little candies ever again.

Hope it's not so hot that it burns my mouth.

If you like a darker caramel sauce, like, if you let the sugar cook longer and go beyond that, like, golden color, you'll get a darker one.

But I don't know, I kind of feel like it starts tasting burnt after a while.

It's going to be the star of your fall desserts.

Make it once, you'll make it over and over.
