Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the light brown sugar to the melted butter and stir continuously with a whisk or a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cooks.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon (if using) until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Allow the brown sugar sauce to cool for 5 minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm over ice cream, pancakes, roasted vegetables, or use as a glaze for meats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
