You can’t get any better than a Homemade Caramel Sauce unless you add a little Maple Syrup! Creamy and delicious. The perfect Topping.

So I was all set to share a delicious Apple Sweet Loaf with a crumb topping that I also drizzled with this delicious creamy Maple Caramel Sauce, but …

I realized that I hadn’t shared this Maple Caramel Sauce yet!

I did make an easy version of a Caramel Sauce made with Sweetened Condensed Milk, that I made for my daughter’s No Bake Skor Cheesecake with Caramel Drizzle.

It’s fast and easy, but if you are looking for a Delicious, Creamy Homemade Caramel Sauce than this is the one. And it’s not very difficult to make.

Just patience and time.

And don’t worry thinking that it is so thin once it is cooked. It will definitely lighten and thicken while it is cooling.

    How to Store Homemade Caramel Sauce

    The cooled sauce should be well covered and stored in the refrigerator, it will last up to two weeks. Stir well before serving.

    The sauce can also be frozen in an airtight container (not glass), it will keep up to 3 months. De frost overnight in the refrigerator, stir well before using.

    As you can see this is not a Salted Caramel Sauce, because I am not a lover of the stuff. I prefer my Caramel Sauce just that! Ok the addition of the maple syrup really brought it up a notch.

    But if you do like a salted caramel combination, then just stir in a teaspoon (more or less) of salt after adding the cream, then pour into the glass jar.

    Caramel sauce is perfect on ice cream, or fresh berries or why not drizzle a bit on your pancakes or whipped cream Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving? Enjoy.

        When ever I has pasta/macaroni left over would leave in the fridge in a tupperware container so it goes a little hard, I would melt butter and brown sugar add cream let it thicken and add any fruit l had, my treat. Well last night I made your Maple Caramel sauce and it is so Delicious…🥰🥰🥰 Thankyou for the share.
