We all love a good sweet, sticky caramel sauce, right? Well I just took it to the next level and made it seasonal. This one tastes like “I want to light a cozy fire on a cold autumn day in a jar.” There’s not many desserts that wouldn’t be made even more amazing with a drizzle of caramel sauce. Heck, it’s amazing right out of the jar on a slice of apple. Last week I made an apple & blackberry crumble and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and this caramel sauce, oh my. Let’s just say, I’m not a dessert person, but this could convert me. I recently found my new fall favorite ingredient, apple extract. This came about when I was researching the recipe for my pistachio layer cake with orange cream frosting. Just to give you an idea of how good this caramel sauce is, when I added the apple extract and the cream to the sugar and the caramel was thickening, my kitchen smelled like I was cooking fresh apples. It’s crazy! A good crazy! So I really hope you make this recipe because you’ll find yourself putting it on everything. I tried it on my toast this morning with homemade almond butter and that was a delicious morning treat. It is also really good on waffles and pancakes. This caramel sauce has me so ready for fall I want to break out my big comfy sweaters (even though it’s still 80 degrees outside). Remember that apple & blackberry crumble I told you about? Here’s a little ‘taste’ for you … Where can I find apple extract? Look in the spice aisle of your grocery store, you may get lucky. If not, Google apple extract, there are so many websites where can buy it.
