Brown sugar caramel sauce is a smooth, creamy delicacy that can be poured over a wide array of desserts such as cakes, ice cream, and apple tarts. Making the brown sauce from scratch is easier than one might think as only a handful of ingredients are required—brown sugar, butter, cream, and vanilla.

Ingredients
- ¼ pound of butter
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream or whipping cream
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
Method
Melt the butter on the stovetop over a medium-high heat. Stir the butter with a spatula to coat the pan evenly then add half of the brown sugar. The brown sugar can be added before the butter is completely melted. As the butter continues to melt, pour in the rest of the brown sugar. Stir the brown sugar with a spatula continuously.
As the mixture begins to reach the caramel stage the sugar granular will dissipate, the sugar crystals will start to melt, and it will take on a deep brown color. You will also notice that the sauce is emitting a very sweet smell.
Smoke coming from around the rim of the pan tells you that the sauce is almost ready. The sauce will become foamy and bubbly. Be sure not to stir too vigorously. Turn the heat up a bit but pay close attention to the sauce and stir constantly.
Remove the pan from the heat and place on a hot pad or trivet.
Finish and Serve
Add the heavy cream and vanilla and stir with a whisk. Drizzle on a cupcake and serve.
