Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.333 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Pecans, chopped
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar and whisk until fully dissolved and combined.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the maple syrup while stirring to incorporate it with the butter and sugar mixture.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and carefully stir in the heavy cream. Continue whisking until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract, chopped pecans, and salt, and stir to evenly distribute the pecans throughout the sauce.

Step 6

Let the sauce simmer gently for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. The sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving over pancakes.
