In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and light corn syrup.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, maple extract (if using), and salt.
Step 5
Continue stirring until the butter has fully melted and the syrup is smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before transferring it to a serving container.
