Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully liquid and bubbling gently.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly pour in the heavy cream. Be careful as the mixture may bubble up slightly.

Step 4

Continue to whisk until the cream is fully incorporated, and the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Taste the sauce and adjust the salt if needed to balance sweetness.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Drizzle the warm cinnamon sauce over slices of apple pie and enjoy!
