Salted Maple Caramel Sauce is made with just five ingredients and in 20 minutes time! It's perfect to top on your favorite dessert or even on waffles or pancakes for a sweet surprise.
In a saucepan, add the half stick of butter. Heat on medium heat until its melted.
Using a wooden spoon, begin to stir in the brown sugar. Continue stirring until well incorporated. Then slowly start to mix the cream into the saucepan. Stirring continuously. Bring the caramel sauce up to a boil (and continue to mix until it becomes thick and to the consistency of your liking).
Turn the heat off, mix in the maple syrup and coarse salt, mix one last time and remove from heat. Let the caramel sauce cool on stove top for 10-15 minutes (mixing periodically). Use right away or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
