Friends, if you all are like me and are always in need of a little something to help you out in a pinch, this Caramel Sauce might just be the answer.
It's easy to make and I am sure you have everything in your pantry & fridge for this recipe.
I always need something for my guy as an after school snack and since it's apple season, this is going to be a special treat for him.
This recipe makes enough that I'll have some left over to serve as a little snack before dinner so that Mr. A Southern Soul can have a little something to much on with his pretzels.
Hold on though…this sauce is wonderful served over ice cream, apple pie, a brownie or popcorn. Really, who am I kidding, caramel sauce is good on just about anything!
Combine sugar and water in a medium size sauce pan on medium heat, until sugar has dissolved.
Increase heat to medium low and cook mixture until it turns a light amber color.
Take off of heat and slowly whisk in half and half. NOTE: use a long handled whisk or spoon since the syrup is very hot and will bubble up.
Add butter, salt and cinnamon, stirring until all mixed.
Let cool to serve as a dip. Can be kept in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
