Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) salted butter
  • ¼ cup (59.5 g) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup. Stir gently until the butter is completely melted and the sugar has dissolved (about 8-9 minutes).
  • Once melted, continue cooking for 3-4 more minutes, stirring frequently to allow the mixture to thicken slightly.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
  • Let the butterscotch sauce cool for a few minutes in the saucepan. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
  • Pour the butterscotch sauce into a heatproof container or jar, and allow it to cool to room temperature. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Serve over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, brownies, or as a dip for apple slices. Enjoy!
