- 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
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!
