Salted Spiced Caramel Sauce is delicious for dipping apples, over ice cream, or drizzled over apple pie.
Ingredients
1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons water
½ cup heavy cream (warmed in the microwave)
¼ cup COLD butter
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
¾ teaspoon sea salt
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cardamom
½ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
Heat cream in the microwave for one minute. Add butter to a heatproof bowl and place a sieve over the bowl. Measure out maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and spices. Set aside.
Place the sugar in a heavy pot and pour water over. Cover with a lid and cook over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. When boiling, remove lid and continue to cook until the sugar turns a golden amber color, about 4 to 7 minutes.
Remove from heat and slowly whisk in warm cream. Continue to whisk until smooth. Pour through sieve over cold butter. Let sit for a minute and then add maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and spices. Whisk until butter has melted and everything is smooth.
Pour into jars.
