Homemade Caramel Sauce
Homemade Caramel SauceSo 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.
Maple Syrup & Brown Sugar in a Pot
Boiled and Melted
The addition of Butter & Cream
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 Make Homemade Caramel Sauce with Maple Syrup

How to Store Homemade Caramel Sauce
The cooled sauce should be well covered and stored in the refrigerator, it will last up to one month. 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 salt? No thanks.
But if you do like that combination 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.
