Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Caramel Sauce is made with brown sugar, butter, half-and-half or cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. This easy cinnamon caramel sauce recipe creates a delicious dessert topping that takes about 10 minutes to prepare and can serve up to 8 people.
Ingredients Needed:
- 1 c. Brown Sugar
- 1/2 stick Butter (4 Tablespoons)
- 1/2 c. Half-and-half or Cream (cream will make it thicker)
- 1 Tbsp. Vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
- Pinch of Salt
How To Make Cinnamon Caramel Sauce:
- Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix together the brown sugar, butter, half-and-half (or cream), vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook and thicken: Place the saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Whisk gently and cook the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes until it thickens.
- Check consistency: If the sauce seems too thin, continue cooking for a few more minutes until it reaches your desired thickness.
- Serve or store: Turn off the heat and serve the sauce warm, or let it cool and refrigerate it until cold.
Recipe Tips
- Whisk constantly: Keep whisking the mixture gently as it cooks to prevent the sugar from burning and ensure a smooth texture.
- Adjust thickness: If the sauce is too thin, cook it for a few extra minutes, stirring continuously until it thickens.
- Cool before refrigerating: Let the sauce cool to room temperature before storing it in the fridge to avoid condensation forming inside the container.
- Reheat slowly: When reheating, warm the sauce gently on low heat to keep it smooth and prevent it from separating.
How To Store Leftovers
Store the leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently on low heat before serving.
